The following quote was on my local Running Room's window:
"A 8-minute kilometer is just as far as a 4-minute kilometer."
I don't get what it is trying to say. Is it saying that it is a good thing that you are out there and running and be proud of the distance gone despite times? Or, if you are out to go a certain distance you might as well push it and improve your times? I'm just not inspired, I'm confused.

A kilometer is a kilometer -- whether it takes eight minutes to run or four. The distance itself is the same. Being able to run the distance is half the battle won -- next the runner can focus bettering his time.
the former of the two assumptions is the one that's right. The fact that the sentence isn't grammatically correct might be what threw you off. I know it threw me when I first read it.

Perhaps it means English majors should quit reading signs and just run!
