When running, I have the free will to run my own race or workout as I will. I also have the free will to follow someone else. That someone else may be running their own race and I try to follow them. Or that person may be willing and attempting to pace me. I run the best races when I plan my own race and stick to it (using my free will, my patience, and my own drive) but I sometimes have greatly benefitted from having someone else who knows better than me guide me along the way.
This is where I find a major crossover between my running life and my spiritual life. God gave us free will. I have the free will to choose whom to follow. The key is to make the right choice about whom to follow as a guidepost for my life. If I follow the right person/philosophy/worldview/God then life will be made more fulfilling, more enriching, and more hopeful. If I choose wrong, well... Things won't work out so well.
So there is a lot to be said for free well in choosing how to run and in choosing how to live.
