Finding Strength in Tough Times
During challenging moments, the mind shifts focus based on the type of physical activity, such as ultramarathons or high-intensity workouts like high rocks. In ultramarathons, the focus is on enduring joint and feet pain, while high rocks induce cardio strain. Drawing from past experiences, the individual recalls pushing through moments of exhaustion in ultramarathons, reminding themselves that there is always more to give. The motivation to continue stems from the anticipation of the satisfaction and sense of achievement upon completion, as well as the higher purpose of inspiring others. The fear of giving up is linked to the idea of not only letting oneself down but also letting others down by not setting an example of perseverance.
