Willpower

The pain cave is a real place. You just have to learn how to live in it for a while.

Why this matters:

The pain cave is a real place. You just have to learn how to live in it for a while. In ultra-endurance, pain is not an emergency; it is the environment. Willpower is the ability to maintain a positive internal dialogue while every nerve in your body is screaming for you to stop.
