I just enjoy running, simply, one foot in front of the other, that’s it. I hear so much about diet this and heart rate that, every man and his dog seems to have something to say on the matter. I’m sure if our ancestors adopted this type of thinking they would have starved to death, unless they developed a taste for snails, assuming they could catch them while keeping their heart rate down .
It all just seems overly complicated to me.
I actually enjoy the feeling of running to my limit. I love the mind battle that ensues, the runners high, the feeling of relief when it’s all over, the failures, the uncertainty. All of these things are why i run, it’s passion, the day i have to rely on technology to tame my efforts is the day I give up running.
I was attracted to the idea of barefoot running in the first place because it seemed so natural and simple, this is just how i feel, and is no reflection on those who enjoy a more structured scientific, training routine, just trying to balance the equation, that’s all.
Am I alone in feeling like this? or do others share these views, or variations thereof?
