We may not be diligent in rehearsals, but we may be fearing ourselves not well enough.

We may not be diligent in rehearsals, but we may be fearing ourselves not well enough.

Some people rehearse every day.

Down a heavy chord every week.

Not quite willing to rest

Dare not run slow.

Don't dare miss the table.

Dare not let yourself seem to be going backwards.

Externally, we might call this "discipline."

But sometimes deep inside,

It's probably not all discipline.

It could be fear.

Afraid that if rested, it would slow down

Afraid that if running less, then others will overtake

I'm afraid if we don't practice hard enough, we won't be good runners.

Afraid that if we don't get better today, we won't have the same value.

This is where the run begins to change from an "area of growth."

Become a "self-worth test field."

And that....It's more dangerous than I thought.

Because when we have to run from fear,

We'll start listening to the body less.

But listen to more comparative voices.

We'll start looking at the break as laziness.

Look at Easy Run as a waste of time.

Look at Recovery as an excuse.

Look at running slower than others as a failure.

In fact, good runners are not always measured by the heaviest practice.

But measured by knowing that

Which day should rest

Which day should be enough

Which day should be patient

And what day should I step back to make myself go further?

Heavy sparring is not wrong.

Having a goal is not wrong.

Wishing to be better is not wrong.

But should we ask ourselves, "Are we practicing because we want to grow up, or are we practicing because we are afraid that we are not good enough?"

These two look very similar.

But the results in mind are very different.

If we practice because we want to grow

We'll still give space to the crash.

Give space to the break.

Give space to days when the body is not ready.

And also look at yourself with understanding.

But if we practice because we are afraid not good enough

We will never be satisfied with ourselves.

Even faster.

Even if the distance is up

Even if you can do PB

We still feel the need to prove something.

Finally, we may not have lost because of little practice.

But may break because I never feel myself enough

Running should make us know ourselves more.

Not hate yourself more.

It should be an area where we practice patience.

But it's not an area where we punish ourselves.

It should be a tool that helps us grow.

It's not a tool that requires us to prove our own worth every day.

Because of our values....

Didn't disappear the day Pace slowed down.

Didn't drop on the day of rest.

Did not break down because the practice was not complete according to the schedule

Some days, daring to run slowly.

It might take more guts than running fast.

Some days, agree to rest.

Probably a harder discipline than a drill.

And some days, admitting, "We can't today."

Maybe it's a sign that we're actually starting to understand running.

Don't rehearse to escape the feeling that you're not good enough.

Practice to gradually grow

In a way that doesn't hurt yourself.

Because of a really strong runner.

Not the one who trains the hardest.

But people who still love running

And also respect yourself.

Even on days when I'm not as good as I want to be.
