You finished your Big Race. Now what?
You decide to take up running. And it’s hard, but you have made a commitment, so you keep running because you are determined to become active and make a change in your life. And after a few days, weeks, two, three months, it gets a little easier, so you keep running. And, eventually, it becomes a habit, and most of the time, at least, you look forward to going out on your run. And now you are faster and you can run farther than you did when you started, and you’re feeling pretty good about yourself. So you think about taking up a challenge: a 5K or 10K race; a half marathon, marathon, trail race, ultramarathon; whatever.
