If a runner is angry, well he run faster and get a faster mile time?

Question

I ran today, very sore and tired and yet I ran my fastest mile time ever very angry and full of rage. Is this the key to my success, rage while I run.

Answer 1

it helps

Answer 2

If the thing you are angry at is in front of you then you will run faster and get a faster mile time.

Rage creates andrenaline and that helps fuel your energy as well as masking pain.

Answer 3

perhaps the adrenaline helped.

Answer 4

i try to make myself angry before a meet.

it sounds weird. but it really does help.

make sure not to make yourself feel depressed angry tho, that doesn't help. haha.

but whenever i'm pissed off at anything, i just get my running shoes on and bolt out of my house. i end up running fast, and far.

so yeah, i'd say rage is your key to success.

Answer 5

it helps cuz i defintily had sum great times wen im angry or mad but da thing is ur just burnin off steam..ur anger just makes u think it..but u coulda dun it all along

Answer 6

well it may have helped this time, but i wouldn't recommend it for the long term.

it is not easy to maintain, and it does exhaust you.

Answer 7

it helps some people, and doesn't help others. i run much faster when i'm angry, because i'm putting all my frustration into going faster. it is probably what helped you run so fast, and now that you know you can do it, you can probably run that fast when you're not mad :)

Answer 8

hey i no it helps some people i usually run best when im really pissed about something. but yea it doesnt really make you physically faster, but i think it helps mentally a bit soo yea whatever works for you

Answer 9

no. theyll run too hard and hurt themselves or get exhausted. its best to stay at your pace. just use willpower and dont run so hard you get out of breath at all.

Answer 10

Sometimes. Either it will give you the pickup to go or it will distract you from your goal and make it harder. Depends on the person.
