What an interesting perspective! I had to laugh a little as I thought about it because if there is anyone shouting at me it’s usually me, saying to myself go faster, go further. Yet then I ease off and realize I’m out there for the many benefits associated with running and can relax and enjoy the run. It’s definitely my “me time”, no headphones (even in races) as I like to reflect, enjoy the scenery and listen to the sounds around me. Perhaps I do a little too much of that in races which is why I’m always in the middle or lower half of the pack. I explain that by saying I like to get my money’s worth!
