this is a serious question. what makes the training worth it? do you enjoy the training, the race, the finish, just being able to finish? i did enough running for my whole life during sports, and hated ever second of it. So i dont understand how it is even remotely enjoyable
Only reason I like the organized races is the group aspect of people getting together for a charity, etc.
Outside of a race, I like running as it's easy to go out and run wherever, whenever...easy way to exercise. Also like to use it to check out the city or tour another city. Also it's time to yourself to just think, listen to music, whatever....
