    The factors which motivate someone to initiate an activity are often different from the factors which motivate the individual to continue in that activity. In addition, these factors are likely to vary from activity to activity.

In this study, the motivations of 472 marathon runners of various levels of experience were compared through discriminant analysis. Two significant discriminant functions were obtained. The results indicated that veteran marathon runners were primarily motivated by a 'marathon social identity ' that included elements of competition, recognition, and health concern. Mid-level experience marathon runners found an 'internal focus ' characterized by psychological rejuvenation and personal performance enhancement to be most influential. First time marathon runners were less motivated by these functions than other marathon runners but seemed to be influenced by health and weight concerns along with goal achievement and self esteem.…
