quitting<\/strong>.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s funny when you get into distances how much running turns into mentally defragging your entire brain. You\u2019re basically spending time solving problems & reviewing things that have been floating around in your brain before putting them neatly away into their compartments.<\/p>\n
Often, I\u2019d forget all the things I thought about during a run, but finish the workout more mentally \u201cclear\u201d than ever.<\/p>\n
But as the distances stretched out, it also created a way for me to actually comprehend the distances I was undertaking.<\/p>\n
After you get past 30 miles, I think it\u2019s hard to think about the distances in bigger single chunks than that.<\/p>\n
So you break it up into pieces you can understand.<\/p>\n
You can do a 5k.
You can do a 10k.
You can do the marathon.<\/p>\n
They have all been done before. Now, you just have to do them.<\/p>\n
When you break the unknowable amounts into known quantities, it doesn\u2019t just make it more comprehensible, it makes it possible.<\/p>\n
So if you\u2019re working on something that seems too big to do.<\/p>\n
Work it out in your head.
Then break it down into amounts you can understand.
Then go do them.<\/p>\n
Good luck.<\/p>\n
