Why is this so?
My theory is that is an example of the HAWTHORNE EFFECT.
The idea here is that we will improve things that we track.
In other words, if you are keeping track of what you eat…you will naturally begin to make better food choices.
Or if you track your workouts…you will begin to make small improvements.
That’s why Steve and I have included TRACKING as part of our MARATHON TRAINING program.
You keep track of how you felt on every run or walk. That way you will ALWAYS improve.
