Want to race faster?

Lose your job.

Lose your job…
It’s true. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, during the current recession, more americans are submitting running faster times during races. This year alone, the article reports that 4.6% of all marathoners have ran times that would qualify them for the 2010 Boston Marathon, which is an amazing 39% more than in 2008!
Less work = more training = faster runs.
The inverse has been true for me. Now that I’m busy with work, I’m training less… hence I’m running slower. I guess you just can’t have everything… :D Lose your job…
