Subject: RE: just having fun vs achieving your full race potential Donskiman - 2010-06-25 5:14 PM
A person can always race the best they have trained for regardless of what they do in training. I still argue that is not the best they can, and few people ever train enough to race the best they can. I would further contend that some people are able to race above the level they've trained for, but still fall far short of racing the best they can - or to their full potential. I don't disagree. I just don't think it's what OP was asking about. Do you prefer workouts that are more aimed at improving race performance, or workouts that are more aimed at fun? For some people, this is a real choice that must be made. For me (and others ), most of the time, it isn't because 'aimed primarily at race performance' and 'fun' are the same thing. |
