5 Good Reasons to Run Slow

In the running society, runners metamope fast is consider elite runner. But there a new force of elites is growing. The runners who run near the cut off time.

What I mean by running near a cut off time. So if a full marathon cut off time is 8 hrs and you manage to complete at 7hrs 59min. That a real real super elite.

Running a slow pace near like walking pace is really really a hard things to do. If you don't believe go ask a fast runner that run a sub 3 or sub 4 to run a sub 8. He or she will die. Fast runner got no patience. They run fast cause they want faster finish faster go back. faster get all the goodies. as for slower runner by the time you finish the race, the event organizer already pack up. 

Slow running need lot of patience. You can see runners keep overtake you and panic that you can't compete. You need to be very calm. So calm till you can enjoy the scenery. Slow runner also have a mental that if cannot be in time. Just finish already a accomplishment. Finding balance in their life. 

The disadvantages of slow elite is that by the time they complete. Mostly all the goodies, food or drink already finish. Another things is that if they go to race with a group of friends. Those faster have to be patience too to wait for them to finish. But that what friends are for. For good times and bad times.
