I personally have been a victim of performing every training run like it was a race, and I know you have done it too
The problem with this is that it's going to lead to injuries, burnout, and de-motivation!
Every week I would pluck up the courage to go out for a run knowing fine well that I wanted to beat my previous time from the run before
I did this because I thought that was what I had to do to get better and be a better runner
This lead to getting persistent knee injuries which stopped me from running every few weeks, I felt exhausted after every run which affected my other daily tasks, and I just didn't really enjoy running anymore
This then lead to me slowing down my runs for the majority of my workouts at a pace that was "conversational"
I was then able to reduce the risk of injury, build my aerobic base, and even improved my 5km time by nearly 4 minutes!
If you look at the research of elite athletes, 80% of the time, they train at a "low intensity" for these exact reasons
