Characteristics of Runners

By Nicoleao @momfever

I’ve been doing some heavy reading because boy the Lore of Running weighs about a ton! And I read about the characteristics of ‘those who stick to a running program’. I have to say, it’s quite flattering!

Characteristics of people who stick with the (running) programme

  • They’ve previously exhibited self-efficacy and perseverance
  • They’re mentally healthy
  • They tend to succeed in whatever they put their minds to

I’ve been a runner for eleven years now, and I’m going to take this personally!

So thank you Tim Noakes!

What do yóu think are characteristics of runners? Good ánd bad?
