The other day I was chatting with some freinds and we were talking
about completing endurance events. "Yeah i completed the marathon
even though i only trained once a week", "I was so unfit and only
started running a couple of weeks before i did my half marathon and
i still managed to finish under 2 and a half hours".
I don't have any problem with this and i'm so glad that they
managed to finish without injury but to be honest they are
missing the point.
Not training properly and doing one of these events just
doesn't give you the same satisfaction, learning or
experience.
Last year i saw some of my colleagues go from never having run
more than 2km in their life; persevere over 9 months of training
and then manage to complete the Beijing full marathon. I think they
felt a lot more sense of achievement because of the long journey
and all the training that they went through. But not only did these
people manage to finish, during the course of all the training they
learnt how to focus and to have discipline. These are lessons which
will help them for the rest of their lives where ever they
go.
The same is true for anything you do. If you take short cuts
you may get the same result but you'll never get the same
satisfaction, learning or rewarding experience as doing it properly
- and in the end this is what counts not the time on the race
certificate.
