Is Your Ego Getting in the Way of Your Optimal Training?

Whether it is slowing down, taking a rest day or accepting walk breaks, sometimes improving requires swallowing pride and resisting F.O.M.O.

On a bike ride last week I noticed something curious: No matter the distance or difficulty of the terrain, I was able to keep the effort steady and moderate. When I'm running, however, I often find my heart rate creeping up until even easy runs end up with some threshold-pace miles in them. While the wheels and gears likely have a bit to do with it, I believe the main difference between my cycling and my running comes down to ego. I bike only occasionally, and never race. Cycling is simply about getting outside, exploring and working up a bit of [cross-training](113/cy08X04/VVVtKs6f73LLN85nBFSjF7S1W6YVQGc4xLQYlN6YWdrZ5nCT_V3Zsc37CgHSfW26F_yw8k6XtPN6R_p2KYjyHxW3rkg983cNzMkW5TqxGb6c6CnYW8HV3Z_6kqGSDV46czX3N0ggCW7kjLwl2cM_TBW5wsPcN2ryZRcW7DpnMl3lj0MVW8mzkfw2wRGpgW8LN_py8kgD77W38BNnQ3QJmXKN6QnPTdmF7hRW2CQ0g31LVJgHW2Tf00c7LDY0_VsnYd24yjPprVlG7fS8K9bL-W2p8rqM2hv-TZW7kglC32dYBLLW2mJR0w4RykJdN9kDNl5tZGdrW73k2dW96MWGHVd9_TR6-FB8FW6yQV7t1Kp4HlW7Txtg-3Mr8pGVDXclD4n3sdjW3lP17n9gLlNLN2MyPsd216LFW8WHV7C2LymK-W61q08x93ckzCN41L5-3QQZqTW2zYx8B1zCLypW4zBpQr4CgJK1W3rJ9yx95rWc431xB1) sweat. I have nothing to prove on the bike, no self-image to live up to. This is significant. “Our self-feeling in this world depends entirely on what we back ourselves to be and do,” the philosopher William James wrote in his Psychology. “It is determined by the ratio of our actualities to our supposed potentialities.” James summarized this ratio in a handy equation: “Self-esteem = success/pretensions.” Lacking any pretensions as a cyclist, when the terrain or the distance get more difficult I downshift with impunity, not noticing or caring about the changing speed. I have, however, defined myself as a runner since high school, so my self-esteem suffers any time my running success slips below my high expectations. One of those expectations is that I don't walk. Even though I run alone the vast majority of the time, usually on trails where no one sees me, I'm embarrassed by dropping into a walk — ever. Yet I'm currently a perfect candidate for adopting a run-walk strategy on occasion: I'm coming back from a knee injury and the pandemic ennui, trying to rebuild my training volume and aerobic fitness so that I can go long again without beating myself up so much I don't feel like getting out the next morning. Simply slowing down more isn't working, as it is mechanically more difficult — one of the reasons some [top coaches recommend walk breaks even for Olympians](113/cy08X04/VVVtKs6f73LLN85nBFSjF7S1W6YVQGc4xLQYlN6YWdrG5nCTJV3Zsc37CgQ5lVVWcpz8t4cRWVvGY6J6q29jlW15GgFq8Zfk-MW5JNR0r1Kb0SXW9kTmd44BKLyyW3ZjhxV4yxdjdW6ys46R9bt4XBN1Qt2WV-nfrHW34dZ6r7tjmv8W7D_PXm5L2-hrMBB4CVm8NgtN3xp94R7xSq6MDFZkTf-9-tW2w6M8W1nJDJVW6r1Y5X4QcfH-W2vDxhb3QCQG6W982PW_4M7hrRW3vgfvJ6yXXTVW85v1S81TGGyvW1WRybd56rJ9vW2lDBBQ52dd_0W2ckxsb6ySPvyN6X7mnmzC8bTW5vBZ265ZQlDsMksygwrgC3sW2pPz245KXptvW4gCkwC1gD42JW37sfKK8FbLGyW8vbWV83ktKF0W96pss-7-1M-bW3qQnKn46889pW1gm3d09jQtKX38Q11) — and the shuffle required hurts my knee and leaves my legs sore. So I've been running faster, but never very far by the standards of this old marathoner. Saturday, I decided I wanted to go long on a favorite trail more than I wanted to uphold my image as a runner. I couldn't trust myself to judge effort like on the bike, so I set my watch to the heart-rate screen and promised myself that every time it climbed into threshold zone I'd walk until it dropped ten beats per minute. My heart rate didn't creep up until about an hour in, after I had started back toward home, into the wind with the heat rising. The walk breaks ended up being about a minute long, roughly once a mile. Surprisingly, the walking didn't disrupt the pleasure and rhythm of the run, and I arrived home only a few minutes later than if I'd pushed through. My knee didn't hurt, and I felt like I could have easily gone farther. Two days later, my legs felt fresh enough I did a short speed workout. If this is what it takes to rebuild to the runner I want to be, or even if it is required to go longer from now on, I love running too much to let ego sabotage my ability to do it. I'd like to say I don't care if you see me walking on a run, but I'd be lying. That pretension persists. I'm working on it. What's holding you back from progressing in your training or enjoying running more? Run tall, friends — however you run. — Jonathan Beverly, Editor PODIUMRUNNER [Why You — Yes, Speedy You — Should Try Run-Walk Training](113/cy08X04/VVVtKs6f73LLN85nBFSjF7S1W6YVQGc4xLQYlN6YWdrG5nCTJV3Zsc37CgTN-W3fmXh29bpGdpW45q9FP5tM7H9W4CQMsb7cwqxrW7nNk3W4ZkCSbW1ssWj41XPRQ_VY6GFn4PRvlpW8gXLhJ7pM_YDW4YM9Kt5X0y8JW426XHV7dP63PW4Qv8_42-phqsN4N2c7V9Nx-SW6xYGVP99PYQ5W1XbBVb5JRrMJW18jyFp6g507qW5sJDnx7HBFWXW2CDq9D6H9553W4yqfX78jgq8-W6lnQ8s81ljPmW3T3nMp8rtMdCW4YQ5Jj6dt7R9W67ZfpZ8qZ_kBW1-6_LB5WR541W7DqgRf14zR1pW4M0BKv327HKCW1PPVzc7bYmywW4PqCSt7cMD3vW8_VqMn3pz7NpW5V7tp48qV-fYW3C6DC046Td8QVGFrh05Y_XL4W7f3_cH3CPL-WW7lBSzr5PbPRD3pjQ1) You may think of it as Gallowalking and consider it far beneath you. But elite triathletes are adopting walking breaks into their training in order to go farther, run more efficiently and stay injury free. Amby Burfoot presents compelling arguments why you should try run-walk training, regardless of your ability.
