Marathon Headspace || Marathon Adventure

For those of you that listen regularly, you know that growing up in 34 Lampet street late 70’s early 80’s was the best time ever.

Exploring Construction Sites, roaming, our imagination as kids, like adventure.

Perhaps you can relate to this yourself, even as a adult… you go on holiday exotic location, no idea where is what.. unless you are one of those with smart phone addiction… then you know where everything is. Lol… for the rest of us then, it’s a adventure isn’t it?

Great feeling of curiosity you need to be analytical, a little intrusive

A very gratifying feeling.

As a marathoner, or someone who dreams of a marathon distance…. usually you realize that running 26.2 miles is not just limited by your fitness, but rather by whats going on in your brain, what thoughts and images come up in your mind. Experience has shown or hang on let me use a new terminology that will give the fact more substance… there are plenty of YT videos of people that apparently run a marathon without training. And they do it. Depends on how honest the whole video thing is.

But fact is… that people with a healthy BMI can complete the 42,2KM with the right training attitude, and reason.

One requirement is the same… You must have a strong determination and a willingness to overcome doubt, some of you fear and treat the marathon, and as many of life's challenges, as an adventure.

The training process obviously involves setting many small milestones and moving from one to another—this makes the whole process easier. Together, these achievements should add up to the ultimate desired goal: running a marathon to the best of one's abilities. However, those of you that are listening closely… SHOULD. Why not will. First an foremost, because only of those achievements are done and completed to the best of your abilities. If you slack off on Tuesday, don’t run, do a short run instead of a long run, avoid hills like the plague and never exceed your comfort pace. Well then it will be no surprise that you have doubt are nervous, are perhaps worried… good episode there by the way in case you missed it worried runner….A Spiritual Growth Mindset says I can because God can. This mindset is about hope, faith, dreams and Truth. “I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me”
