But I recommend to my clients all the time to use races as part of their training. Whether it's for a test of their fitness to determine training paces, to test out their goal race pace for a period of time within the race, or just to get experience running races. I think there's always a good reason to run a race as part of training, as long as the race stays a training run and not a race, as you said.
