“Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own; sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction.” – Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, page 112
This quote has led me to a cool life hack. I have been training for marathon slowly over the last 6 months. Each time I run, at the brink of bonking, I listen to the same playlist and try to push myself to run a little further. This has become a habit. So at work, during hard schedules, I replay the same playlist and instantly get reminded of not quitting and pushing through the obstruction!
