COT Endurance
Men, today’s theme is endurance that includes emotional endurance, and endurance is not about pushing harder. It is about staying present longer.
Long runs teach you something that applies everywhere. Discomfort does not mean something is wrong. It means something is being worked through.
Our half marathon was hard. The first nine miles I was pacing slower than nine minutes. At that point I did the math. If I wanted to finish under two hours, I had to run the last four miles at eight minute pace. Four miles, faster than I felt like I had left in me. Faster than I had ever run a mile before.
I did not feel strong. I just kept going.
And that is the point. Emotional endurance is built the same way physical endurance is built, slowly, repeatedly, with trust. You do the reps. You take the next step. You stay with it without panicking.
Here is the part that matters most to me. I knew if I chose to do it, if I stayed present and stayed in it, I would not be alone at the finish line. The guys would be there. Because we are here for each other’s victories, and we have been here for each other’s losses too.
So when it gets hard this week, in work, in parenting, in family, in your own head, remember this. You do not have to feel strong to keep going. You just have to stay present for the next step. And when you do, your guys are still going to be there at the finish.
