It
A: well. now that the race is over, will you still be running every night after work?
B: I think so. I'm going to try to keep it up. You know, it's almost as much fun training as it is
running in a race.
I don't understand "it"s in the above passage.
Could anyone tell lme what these pronouns indicate?
thanks in advance.

These are ' prop-it 's. They are just place markers used to move the real subject toward the end of the sentence, where emphasis lies. Compare: You know, it 's almost as much fun training as it is running in a race.
