Runners and their compulsion over time and distance
Sun, 07/14/2024 - 5:00am
After many years of running and putting on races. I have come to the conclusion that runners are, for the most part, a compulsive group. They tend to generally be obsessive about three things. One is the distance they run, another is the time they run and the third is the time and distance they run. A runner or walker may mention that they run for fun and the distance and time are not important. There may be a few runners and walkers that actually are not concerned about the distance they covered or the time it took them. This may be true, but at races I have entered and organized, the clock keeps running until the last person crosses the finish line, and that last runner will look up to check the time.
