Pushing physical limits can lead to extreme outcomes, as exemplified by a well-known athlete who ran a 200-mile race despite suffering a broken bone. This extreme approach emphasizes the point that while dedication is admirable, replicating such strenuous practices is not feasible or safe for most individuals.
