We are conditioned to believe that we have to earn what we have and who we are. This belief influences our actions and the choices we make. As endurance athletes this means many of us believe that we have to earn the right to call ourselves “athletes”, “runners”, “triathletes” or whichever title we might be striving for; that our target pace or watts will validate the identities we’re seeking.
