This is truly like a marathon. Idk if you ever ran any type of race, doesn’t matter what distance, from a 5k to a marathon.
You are not competing with the runners around you, you can try, but it doesn’t make sense. When you start running that’s what you do, bc it’s human nature to see people around you and try to beat them.
Then after a few half marathons you realize that there are people there that have been running for decades or are just naturally better runners than you and you will literally never beat them…no matter how hard you train.
This is why after a race, people will ask you,”How was your race, did you p/r?” They do not ask,”What time did you finish in”.
Bc the race is between you and yourself, no one else.
This is no different, it’s human nature to see others DCAs and feel like, fuck I’m losing. But that’s not a rational comparison, you have no idea their financial situation. All that matters is how you are doing compared to what you did yesterday or last week.
1% better is how you win life. You got this 🧲💪
