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.
