Run for your life, and because the kids are coming

Characteristics of runners

the lore or runningI’ve been doing some heavy reading because boy the Lore of Running weighs about a ton! And I read about the characteristics of ‘those who stick to a running program’. I have to say, it’s quite flattering!

Characteristics of people who stick with the (running) programme

  • They’ve previously exhibited self-efficacy and perseverance
  • They’re mentally healthy
  • They tend to succeed in whatever they put their minds to

I’ve been a runner for eleven years now, and I’m going to take this personally!

So thank you Tim Noakes!

What do yóu think are characteristics of runners? Good ánd bad?

  1. I believe all three of these!

    I also think runners are a little Type A. I think you have to be. I know I am!

      I think you’re right about the Type A personality. I certainly have a bit of that in me.
