Competitive runners have a different relationship with running than people who run for fitness. The fitness runner is satisfied with completion. The competitive runner is tracking the split, the cadence, the temperature differential, the elevation gain, the shoes on the day and whether those were the right shoes. They have a PR they are planning to break and a race on the calendar and a training plan they are either following precisely or improvising around with rationale. They have opinions about hydration strategy and opinions about taper week and an opinion about whether the race medal is worth the entry fee. They have friends who also run competitively and those friendships involve a particular kind of mutual understanding about what it means to care about something that is purely about going slightly faster. The gift for them is something that serves the competition — the preparation, the execution, or the recovery.
