For most of my running life, I saw only one way to maintain momentum, and that was to take another step-right foot, left foot, repeat\u2014 especially when every cell in my brain and body was urging me to back off. I reasoned I had to do that to squeeze out the last iota of my potential and find out how good I really was. I dwelled on the rewards of that approach, not the risks, or how it might have to evolve along with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Des Linden\u8a8d\u70ba\u99ac\u62c9\u677e\u8981\u8dd1\u5f97\u597d\uff0c\u5c31\u5f97\u597d\u597d\u627e\u51fa\u81ea\u5df1\u70ba\u4ec0\u9ebc\u975e\u8dd1\u4e0d\u53ef\u7684\u7406\u7531\uff0c\u56e0\u70ba\u5728\u81ea\u6211\u8a13\u7df4\u7684\u904e\u7a0b\u4e2d\uff0c\u8df3\u904e\u4e00\u5929\u6216\u4e00\u500b\u661f\u671f\u7684\u8a13\u7df4\uff0c\u6c92\u6709\u5176\u4ed6\u4eba\u6703\u6ce8\u610f\u5230\u6216\u5728\u610f\uff0c\u53ea\u6709\u81ea\u5df1\u3002\u5982\u679c\u5728\u7af6\u8cfd\u4e2d\u611f\u5230\u8271\u96e3\u800c\u68c4\u8cfd\uff0c\u70ba\u6210\u6557\u8ca0\u8cac\u7684\uff0c\u4e5f\u53ea\u6709\u81ea\u5df1\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I needed to find out if I was intrinsically motivated enough to put in the work when I was in charge and no one was watching. If I skipped a day or week of running, nobody would know, comment, or be invested. If I bailed when a session began to get difficult, I was accountable only to myself.
