Read a book call "Breakthrough Triathlon Training". This book does not promote the ways of training or any special methods in achieving better performance. It is about Pure Motivation - within yourself, your mind and the right attitude towards the sport.
The author mentions about Roger Bannister's concept:
We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves. It also does us good because it helps us to do other things better. It gives a man or woman a chance to bring out the power that might otherwise remain locked away inside. The urge to struggle lies latent in everyone. The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. The human spirit is indomitable.
Pure Motivation - This is exactly how we feel when we run. It reminds us of the Feel which we had during our running / physical training. It is a special kind of feeling which makes you smile after a hard training. It does not involve other elements like how hard is the training/ how fast u outrun your running buddy/ what is your running position in the compeition. We just enjoy the process~
With this right attitude, all the hardships (joint pain, muscle aches, thirst) become secondary.
Deep down, everyone has a pure motivation in participating.
Think about it the next time when you are going for a run.
