MCR RUNNING QUIZ
Running Personality Quiz
What is your biggest motivation for signing up to events like the Manchester Half?
To prove to the world that I can do challenging things!
My friends and I signed up together – it’s a good reason to get together and train.
To beat a previous PB – or set a speedy new one.
To make a positive impact on others, e.g. by taking part for a charity or pacing a friend.
To have fitness goals which will motivate me to make healthy choices.
What gives you the ultimate ‘runners high’?
New Strava achievements like becoming a Local Legend (and getting some kudos!)
Running with friends and catching up.
Knowing I’ve pushed my limits and hit my targets.
The sense of community.
Seeing or feeling the benefits on my body and mind.
Others describe my relationship to running as…
Enthusiastic and engaged.
Social and casual.
Target-driven and determined.
Supportive and focused on the bigger picture.
Motivated by self-improvement.
My biggest running pitfall is…
Not resting enough.
Not pushing myself enough.
Putting too much pressure on myself.
Giving too much to others when life is busy enough.
Obsessing over fitness goals.
After my run, I’ll most likely be found…
Updating Strava / social media – cheeky selfie, anyone?
Grabbing a drink with friends or relaxing.
Diving into the stats and reflecting on my performance.
Chatting to and congratulating people in my local club.
Stretching and eating a healthy meal.
