The Cut sat with three elite runners to discuss getting through any challenge whether it involves sneakers or not
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photo: Getty Images Even if you’d rather drink poison than go for a run, pushing yourself through mile after mile is similar to chasing after any life goal: You have to overcome fear of failure, wanting to quit, and psyching yourself up to do it all over again after you cross the finish line.
L.F.: How you feel on a daily basis doesn’t measure success. You can’t invest too much in a day when you feel crappy. And I’d say the impossible things are much more likely to happen if you’re approaching them with your own flair and style. If you’ve never done something before, there’s a temptation to look at people who are succeeding and trying to emulate them. But when I’ve done that, I’m most likely to run into obstacles.
A.P.: I personally am very stubborn, and whenever I do something, the result is something I always try to retroactively rewrite as something that was somehow in my favor. So if I fell down on a run and couldn’t run for two days, that’s a very minor failure, but I’ll be like, Well, I probably needed the rest. There’s some narrative I can tell myself. That was a survival technique for me growing up. Also you have to zoom out of the situation and appreciate yourself for trying.
