Why You Should Have High Expectations of Yourself as a Masters Runner
Have you ever been told that you have TOO high of expectations of yourself for your running or fitness? It’s up to you to do some self reflection and analyze feedback that you receive, but it’s also up to you to set your goals where you want them.
As noted in Good To Great by Jim Collins, it’s always possible to improve- the day you become satisfied is the day you stop getting better.
We discuss why sometimes you SHOULD have high expectations of yourself (even unrealistic ones) in running and health. We also review how to manage them so that you can live a happy, fulfilled life and ENJOY being a runner.
