Quote of the Day — Frank Short on Fast Running
“Because running fast is more fun than running slow.” — Frank Shorter
That’s why runners train: to run faster, not slower.
And when those days come — the big personal bests, the series of fastest-ever workouts, the power felt during a quick finishing burst to the line — make all the training, focus, diligence, and sacrifice worth it.
I don’t know about you, but running fast is one of the best feelings I’ve ever experienced. I think chasing the “fast feeling” is one reason why we runners keep lacing up our shoes and put ourselves through difficult training sessions day after day, year after year.
