I realized that my mindset was just as important as the condition of my legs in overcoming this challenge. So, in addition to physical exercise, I’ve also been doing quite a lot of mental exercise in the form of reading books about really crazy ultrarunners. there are no walls This is Allie Bailey’s 100-mile run across a frozen lake in Mongolia while struggling with alcoholism, and shows us our bodies are capable of more than we give them credit for.

after that, Can’t Hurt Me By the famous David Goggins. Goggins is a former U.S. Navy SEAL who ran a 24-hour, 160-mile race in San Diego with a broken leg and once did more than 4,000 pull-ups in 17 hours. He believes that when most people think they are ready to give up, they are actually only 40% done. With the remaining 60 percent, anything is possible.
So here I am, rested, healed, and ready to embrace that 60 percent for the final five weeks of training. And when the going gets tough, running from Brighton to London is definitely a walk in the park compared to running on a broken leg or across a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere. Remind yourself of something.
