I have run marathons and have done training plans... It makes things feel like training and thus... a chore.
Add to it the crapshoot we have here for weather - I don't miss 'having' to go out and do a run because it is scheduled.
I got to a point of missing running for the sake of running.
I have no race, goal or anything set... I am just trying to get the miles in and enjoy it. If data comes with it that could expose a way to get more enjoyment somehow... I want to understand it. Riding my bike is 100% my mental release from work, kids, wife, responsibility, etc... the last thing I want to do is to turn it into another responsibility.
I do get your point and if faster was my goal... I would be structured.
I am not going to claim I am fast enough - but I am not embarrassing myself when I do ride with others.
So if faster is a byproduct, yay! but it is not the goal.
