most people's threshold is about 8-10 miles, or just over an hour or so
and your body tells you, okay, good job, let's stop now...
and you still have 15 miles or so to go
it's all mental, pushing through the urge to stop, the mental excercises that keep you focused (like a cadence, etc...)
and your opponent is the clock
is there a less forgiving opponent than time
time doesn't have a bad day, time doesn't underperform, etc...
TIME IS UNDEFEATED
as far as boxing, let me put it like this
you can't mentally push your way out of KO
either you get knocked out, or you don't
no mental toughness is going to keep you awake if you get hit hard enough (and yes, I've sparred some, and it is very difficult physically)
but for just mental toughness, I vote marathon ---------------------------------------------------------------
If you can't understand it without an explanation
you can't understand it with an explanation
