As long as someone doesn't jump out from behind a van and start shooting runners...you should be fine!

 

[nick1985]

just run for fun and personal bests. it doesnt matter what other people are running and how good another team is. just focus on you and your own race. it doesnt matter if you are racing alan webb, just focus on you. lots of runners focus on other teams and worry about who is in the race. who cares?? does it change your body physically? no. it just harms you mentally and that is the worst. so remember, it doesnt matter who you are racing, it doesnt matter at all. focus on yourself and what you can do.

 

[nick1985]

and you need to train your ass off of course 😉 i CANT STAND knowing that there is someone who trains harder than me, so i try and make sure that doesnt happen :beer:
