Isnt it more a question of having to do it every day, rather then doing the fun things in eve?
Plus ppl have more then one or two accounts often.

Yes, there is. The track you are running on, the finishing line you are crossing, the clock and the rules defining the victor are all part of the environment.

If want to see it as fighting the other racer then be my guest, but you are not actually engaging in a physical fight even if you could, but rather the rules prevent you from doing so as it would disqualify you. The fight against the other runner is only in your head. He might however not even notice you, because he could be entirely focused on the track, his heartbeat and breathing just to achieve his best performance.

Only if you were allowed to knock the other runner down, push him off the track or otherwise directly engage/assault him would it constitute a direct fight - a PvP - between you two.

Boxing is PvP. Running a track is not.

I am referring to other games that sell it as part of their PvE experience. I do not expect from you do have heard of it of course. Just keep an eye open when you see it. It is not the same as PvP.
