- Joe S., Elite runner, scientist
Theresa L,, Triathlete
“I was running a 15 miler this morning and started to fatigue around 8 miles and was starting to think I wasn't really feeling it. But then I remembered you saying that you just tell yourself that you like it when doing something unpleasant. So I told myself, "I like this". And then I didn't mind. It really works.”
