LETTER
W
CAN YOU TRY HARDER?
e all think we’re giving 100% in races. But watching some elite athletes,
their faces contorted in late-race agony, I can’t help but ask myself:
how hard am I
really
trying?
In Matt Fitzgerald’s
How Bad Do You Want It?
– a brilliant book with
a toe-curlingly bad title – he writes about our ‘unreachable physical limit’. That’s not
to say we are all super-athletes of unlimited potential. Quite the opposite: we are all
wimps unwilling to break free from our mind-forged manacles. It is not the body that
slows us down, but the brain.
The bravest athletes – the Prefontaines, Radcliffes and Brownlees – get closer to
their physical limit than most. The rest of us? My guess is that we rarely realise more
than 80% of our physical potential.
Yet we can, with consistent training and iron-willed determination, walk a little
further along those hot coals. Perhaps not as far as Radcliffe or Brownlee, but further
than we’ve ever gone before.
It’s a theme that David Smyth explores further in the month’s ‘Suffer club’ article
on page 60, speaking with some of these athletes about how they’re able to push
themselves to their very limits.
So next time you find yourself in a race, telling yourself the same old
lie that you’re trying your hardest, be brave and ask yourself honestly:
can I give more? The answer is, inevitably, yes.
