A big inspiration to me in my distance running days. I see "Pre" as an ESFP. He was a highly motivated achiever, lived in the moment, was great at establishing realistic goals even for his amazing endurance, and loved to have his presence felt in the immediate environment (Se + Te). "A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more." "Something inside of me just said 'Hey, wait a minute, I want to beat him,' and I just took off." "What I want is to be number one." "Pre" was also very vocal about his beliefs and did not hesitate to stand up for himself and what he valued, such as his criticism of AAU athletics (Aux Fi). He also tapped into his Inferior Ni in regards to how he viewed running, often given the meaning of such a simple sport to be something more abstract. "A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they're capable of understanding." "My philosophy is that I'm an artist. I perform an art not with a paint brush or a camera. I perform with bodily movement. Instead of exhibiting my art in a museum or a book or on canvas, I exhibit my art in front of the multitudes." RIP to a legend.
Biography
Steve Roland "Pre" Prefontaine (January 25, 1951 – May 30, 1975) was an American middle and long-distance runner who competed in the 1972 Olympics.[2] While running for the Oregon Track Club, Prefontaine set American records at every distance from 2,000 to 10,000 meters,[3][4] as he prepared for the 1976 Olympics. Prefontaine's career, alongside those of Jim Ryun, Frank Shorter, and Bill Rodgers, generated considerable media coverage, which helped inspire the 1970s "running boom."[5][6] Prefontaine's celebrity and charisma resulted in two 1990s feature films about his life. He died at age 24 in an automobile accident near his residence in Eugene, Oregon. One of the premier track meets in the world, the Prefontaine Classic, is held annually in Eugene in his honor.
