Running a marathon is not an easy task. Whether you can complete a 26.2 miles quickly around 2 hours or take 5 or 6 hours, it typically involves
overcoming sensations of fatigue, thoughts that question why you are running, and messages telling you to stop.
You know you don't want to stop. You remember hearing yourself tell someone "I am doing a marathon" and then image yourself telling them you did not
finish. This thought is accompanied by unpleasant feelings.
We have done a great deal of work helping marathon runners learn to overcome these inner challenges. We have published a number of articles, given
talks at conferences, on the radio, and on websites.
