Looks like the motivation/inspiration points both ways.
It is very difficult for a newbe to relate to a veteran runner. It seems as though that person has been running forever. They have forgotten the struggle of beginning. At least it appears this way. It is easier to look up to and relate to sombody just slightly more advanced than yourself than sombody much farther along.
More of the veteran runners than you think have taken time off of running and had to rebuild their fitness. Lots of things get in the way of running. Injuries, work, life. They may have gone through the struggle more than once and remember it well...
