Perseverance

 

One of the most important qualities a runner have is perseverance. Running is an in your head sport. Once you've trained you have the ability to do as much as you think you can. If you've practiced and trained your body is ready, your muscles are ready, you have the physical ability to make your goal, but you can only do as much as you let yourself. It only hurts to a certain point and then it doesn't get any worse.
