71. 无限游戏：以更优方式迎接你的超马挑战

这是我最喜欢的看待超马的方式之一。

This is one of my favorite ways to see ultrarunning.

这也是让我的教练方法与其他人不同的一个方面。

And it's one thing that makes my coaching different from anyone else's.

它改变了我客户对待从退赛到最重要目标比赛的一切方式。

It changes how my clients approach everything from a DNF to their biggest goal race.

一旦你听到这个，你对超马的看法就再也回不去了。

And once you hear it, you won't see ultrarunning the same ever again.

欢迎收听《不可阻挡的超马跑者》，这档播客专为那些拒绝让任何事阻碍自己的超马跑者而设。

Welcome to Unstoppable Ultra Runner, the podcast for ultrarunners who refuse to let anything hold them back.

我是你的主持人唐纳利，参加过一百五十多场百英里赛，也是一名教练，帮助像你这样的跑者突破心理障碍、摆脱怀疑、自信奔跑。

I'm your host, Donnelly, veteran of over a hundred and fifty hundred mile races and a coach who helps runners like you break through mental roadblocks, push past doubt, and run with confidence.

我们开始吧。

Let's go.

欢迎收听第71集。

Welcome to episode 71.

这是我看待我们这项运动最喜欢的方式之一，而且说实话，我从一开始就是这么看的。

This is one of my favorite ways to view our sport, and it's really the way I've always looked at it from day one.

只是直到几年前我才知道这个概念原来有个名字，真的特别有用。

I just didn't know that it was a concept that actually had a name until several years ago, and it is so helpful.

一旦你用这种方式看待超马，一切都会改变。

And once you see ultrarunning this way, it can change everything.

你对风险的恐惧、你从中获得的乐趣、在这项运动中长久发展的路径，以及你不断提升的技艺水平，因为这就是你正在做的事。

Your fear of risk, the fun you have, the route to longevity in the sport, and your growing level of mastery in the sport, because that's what you're doing.

所以，这是我能介绍给客户的最让人释然的概念之一。

So this is one of the most relieving concepts I get to introduce to clients.

它能减轻很多压力。

It relieves so much stress.

它改变了他们对比赛的看法，让他们跑得更强、更自信。

It changes the way they see races, and it frees them up to run stronger and more confidently.

那我们开始吧。

So let's go.

咱们先从这儿开始，这样才能体会得更完整。

And let's start here to get the full effect.

假设你马上要参加一场大赛，而且是那种特别重要的比赛。

Let's imagine that you've got a big race coming up, like a really big one.

这可能是你一辈子难得一次的机会，或者是通过抽签幸运中选的比赛；也可能是距离上的一次突破；或者你刚经历了一次痛苦的退赛，甚至是一连串的退赛。

It's a once in a lifetime race or a lottery race that you've somehow lucked into, or it's a step up in distance, or you're coming off a devastating DNF, or even a series of DNFs.

而这一场、也就是接下来的这场比赛，必须得跑好。

And this one, this next race, has to go right.

我知道，当你参加这样一场比赛时，失败的代价太高了。

Now I know that when you're coming into a race like this, the cost of failure is too high.

光是想想都觉得痛苦不堪。

It's excruciating to even consider it.

失败根本不在考虑范围内。

Failure is just not an option.

但那种可能失败的风险感也同样强烈。

But the risk of failing feels equally high.

你的焦虑就跟失败的风险一样高。

And your anxiety is, like, right there with the risk of failing.

因为你心里清楚，压力不是好事，你拼命不去想它。

Because in the back of your mind, you know the stress isn't a good thing, and you're trying hard not to think about it.

你本来想参加这场比赛，也应该想参加。

Then you wanted to do this race, and you should want to do this race.

你不想承认，但你害怕这场比赛，因为你确信自己会失败。

And you don't want to admit it, but you dread the race because you are certain you're going to fail.

而失败会证明你并没有自己想的那么好。

And failing would prove you're not as good as you think you are.

那会暴露你的真实水平。

It would expose you.

那会让你过去的比赛成绩受到质疑。

It would draw your past race accomplishments into question.

那也会限制你对自己未来能力的看法。

It would also limit what you see yourself as capable of in the future.

所以一切都押在这上面了，你的过去、现在和未来。

So everything is on the line, your past, your present, and your future.

这场比赛必须顺利。

This has to go well.

没有别的可能。

There's no other way it can go.

所以你全力以赴地训练和准备，而在你心里，这场比赛的表现成了对你个人和你超马能力的最终评判。

So you go all in on the training and preparing for it, and in your mind, your performance in the race becomes a verdict on you personally and your ultrarunning.

就像，这场比赛会是最终定论。

Like, this race is gonna be the final word.

就是它了。

This is it.

而且因为失败现在是你唯一能想到的事，对失败的恐惧让你在脑海里反复想象它，甚至可能已经具体到它会怎么发生。

And because failing is now all you can think about, the fear of it has you imagining it in your head on repeat, probably even picturing exactly how it's gonna happen.

你的目标变成了“我只想完赛”，但每次你这么说的时候，其实你真正的意思是“别失败”。

Your goal becomes, I just wanna finish, which to you, every time you say that, it actually means don't fail.

我就是不想失败。

I just don't wanna fail.

所以你的整个比赛策略无意中就变成了别失败，这让你一直紧张兮兮，为这事担心焦虑，结果到了比赛那天，你还是以某种方式失败了。

So your whole race strategy unintentionally becomes don't fail, which keeps you so tense and worn out from worrying and stressing about it that by race day, you fail somehow.

你要么因为这不是你想要的比赛而失望，要么就是退赛。

You either end up disappointed because it wasn't the race you wanted or you DNF.

但不管结果如何，你离你想要和需要的那种巅峰状态还差得远。

But however it works out, you're far from having the peak race that you wanted and needed.

好消息是，那并不是你的体能问题。

Good news here is that that wasn't your physical capability.

那不是问题所在。

That wasn't the problem.

问题在于你把这场比赛看得太重，把所有东西都押在这一场比赛上，把它变成了一场生死攸关的考验。

The problem was placing over importance on this one race, pinning everything to this one race, turning it into a life or death test.

那是因为你没有更广阔的视角来安放这场非常重要的比赛。

And that's because you don't have a broader perspective to put this very important race into.

当你这样看待比赛时，每场比赛都成了衡量你是谁、评判你是谁的标准。

When you're seeing races this way, each race becomes a measure of who you are, a judgment of who you are.

这样一来，每场比赛都有能力成就你或毁掉你，这对一场比赛来说压力太大了。

Each race has the power that way to make or break you, which is a lot of pressure on a race.

那是因为你是一场一场地看待超级马拉松的，一次只看一场。

And that's because you're thinking of ultrarunning race by race, one at a time.

所以解决办法是看到所有这些比赛如何作为一个整体相互配合，单独一场比赛不是生死攸关，也不是一切，更不能成为对你和你超级马拉松生涯的定论。

So the solution here is seeing how all those races fit together as a whole, How one race by itself isn't life or death, and it isn't everything, and it can't be a verdict on you and your ultrarunning.

有一个概念可以解释这个，叫做无限游戏。

And there's a concept for that, and it's called the infinite game.

我第一次遇到无限游戏的概念是在詹姆斯·卡斯特的书《有限与无限的游戏》里，然后意识到我从一开始就是这样看待超级马拉松的。

I first ran across the concept of the infinite game in James Karst's book, Finite and Infinite Games, and realized it was already how I saw ultrarunning from, like, day one.

只是在那之前我一直没有给它起个名字。

I just didn't have a name for it until then.

所以这是我看待这项运动与大多数人不同的主要方式之一，也是让我的教练工作独一无二的一点。

So it's one of the main ways I see the sport differently than most people, and it's one thing that makes my coaching unique.

这就是你需要的那种更广阔的视角。

This is the broader perspective you need.

这也是我教练理念的核心之一。

It's one of the core philosophies behind my coaching.

这不只是要缓解你那一周冒出来的焦虑或担忧。

It's not just about calming whatever anxiety or worry has cropped up that week.

而是要彻底改变你看待比赛的方式，学会把每场比赛都看作更大整体的一部分。

It's about completely shifting the way you see races, learning to see every race as part of a bigger whole.

那这意味着什么呢？

And here's what that means.

在超级马拉松里，你玩的是一个无限游戏。

With ultrarunning, you're playing an infinite game.

既然是游戏，就意味着你会拿到一手牌。

It's a game, which means you get a hand of cards dealt to you.

而且你得遵守规则，比如每场比赛要在规定时间内跑完一定的距离。

And there are rules that you agree to follow, like you gotta run a certain distance in a certain amount of time each race.

然后你用最聪明的策略来出牌。

And you play your cards with the smartest strategy you can.

每一轮，你都会拿到一手新牌，你决定怎么打，然后打出去。

Every round, you get a new hand of cards, and you decide how to play them, and then you play them.

有些牌局，你会赢。

Some hands, you come out ahead.

有些牌局，你会输，但游戏会一直继续，一手接一手。

Some, you lose, but the game keeps going hand after hand.

这是一个无限的游戏，因为除非你决定结束，否则它不会结束。

And it's an infinite game because it doesn't end until you decide it does.

只要你愿意玩，这些牌局就会一直持续下去。

Those hands go on forever as long as you wanna play the game.

你想玩多少手牌都可以。

You can play as many hands as you want.

你可以休息一下。

You can take a break.

你可以随时回到游戏中来。

You can come back to the game.

与此同时，其他玩家可以进进出出，但你的位置不会因为别人而结束，除非你自己决定结束，所以实际上你不可能输。

Other players can come in and out of the game in the meantime, but your place in the game isn't over until you say it is, which means you can't actually lose.

你只能选择继续玩或者退出。

You can only keep playing or quit.

一场比赛只是其中的一手牌。

A race is just a hand.

它不是整个游戏。

It's not the game.

每个游戏都有好牌和坏牌。

Every game has good hands and bad.

除非你打了一手好牌就停止游戏，不再玩了，否则这就是游戏的本质。

Unless you play one good hand and stop the game, stop playing, that's just the nature of the game.

你可以退出某场比赛，但你仍然在游戏中。

You can quit a race, but you're still in the game.

那一轮，那场比赛没有像你希望的那样发展，但你可以在下一场中运用你学到的东西。

That round, that race didn't go the way you hoped, but you get to use what you learned in the next one.

换个角度想想。

And think about it this way.

没有人会因为一手牌不好就放弃打扑克。

Nobody quits playing poker after one bad hand.

那不是你玩的原因。

That's not why you play.

你玩是为了看看下一手你能做什么，做得更好。

You play to see what you can do in the next hand, to do it better.

所以关键不在于单独一手牌的结果。

So it's not about the outcome of a single hand.

而在于你是否继续玩下去，并不断进步。

It's whether you keep playing and you keep getting better at it.

那才是真正的乐趣。

And that truly is the fun.

比上次玩得更聪明，从那一手牌中学习，让下一手打得更好，在顺境和逆境中不断进步，变得更聪明，只要你愿意一直玩下去。

Playing smarter than you did last time, learning from that hand to do the next one better, getting better at the game, smarter, through good hands and bad, for as long as you choose to keep playing.

这里有几个例子，是我在准备这期节目时想到的。

And here's just a couple of examples I thought of while I was setting up this episode.

有一位客户是巴克利雾经典赛的赛事总监，她已经担任这个职位好几年了。

One client runs the Barkley Fog Classic, and she has for the past years.

在这场比赛中，如果你在早期错过了一个比较紧的关门时间，你就根本没法完赛。

And in this race, you can miss one of the tighter cutoffs early and just not finish it at all.

但如果你通过了那些早期比较紧的关门点，你就会到达所谓的决策点，在那里你要么放弃你的50公里梦想，也就是50公里的比赛。

But if you make those tighter early cutoffs, you get to what's called the decision point, where you either give up your 50 k dreams, the races of 50 k.

所以你要么放弃完成整个50公里的梦想，退而求其次跑个马拉松。

So you either give up your dream of finishing the whole 50 k and settle for a marathon.

所以你要么因为错过早期关门时间而无法完赛，要么到达决策点后，你必须决定是继续跑50公里还是接受马拉松。

So you either don't finish because you miss an early cutoff, or you get to the decision point, and you have to decide whether you're gonna go on for the 50 k or settle for the marathon.

她跑这场比赛好几年了，每次都退赛，连马拉松都没跑完。

And she's run this race for several years and DNF'd it every time, like not even gotten the marathon.

但我们用无限游戏来看待这些未完成，就不会太在意。

But we use the infinite game to put those DNFs in perspective.

对她来说，完成完整的50公里可能只是一个长期目标，而不是对她本人或今年的评判。

Finishing the full 50 k for her might just be a long term project, but it's not a verdict on her or this year.

这是她一直在努力推进的一个项目。

It's a project she's chipping away at.

她在那场特定比赛中越来越擅长应对各种情况。

She's getting better at playing the hands of that particular race.

这种重新定义让她每年都更容易回来，打出更好的牌。

And that reframe made it easier to come back and play a better hand every year now.

去年，她第一次完成了马拉松。

And last year, she got her first marathon finish.

所以今年，既然她知道能完成马拉松，她打得那么好，牌打得那么好，她更有信心了。

So this year, now that she knows she can finish the marathon, she's played the game that well, played her hand that well, she's more confident.

她打出了那一手牌。

She played that hand.

她赢了一局，今年她打算挑战完整的50公里完赛，总的来说，我前几天问过她，现在对她来说更有趣了。

She won a round, and she's gonna go for the full 50 k finish this year, which, all in all, I asked her the other day, and it's more fun for her now.

这场比赛现在更有趣了。

This race is now more fun.

她不再像以前那样害怕了。

She doesn't dread it like she used to.

她越来越擅长玩这个游戏，擅长应对那场比赛中的特定局面，而且她自己也知道这一点。

She's getting better at playing the game, playing that particular hand of that particular race, and she knows it.

再举一个例子。

Here's another example.

另一位客户，在100英里距离上三次未能完赛，相当于拿到了三手烂牌。

Another client, DNF'd three times at the 100 mile distance, has three bad hands.

但她没有放弃比赛，最终不仅完成了多场100英里赛事，还完成了一场200英里的比赛。

But she didn't quit the game, and she went on to not only finish multiple 100 mile races, but a 200 mile race as well.

她现在因为一个无关的伤病在休息，但仍在跑步，仍然参与其中，准备重返赛场。

And she's taking a break right now for an unrelated injury, but still running and still in the game, getting ready to come back to racing.

手牌有好有坏，有时休息一阵，有时重新上场。

Bad hands, good hands, taking a break, coming back to it.

这就是比赛本身。

That's the game.

然后说说我自己的髋关节经历。

And then there's my whole hip story.

我之前莫名其妙地在几场百英里比赛中退赛了，因为我有点倔，不容易放弃，直到后来我休息了一阵子，做了髋关节置换手术。

Like, I DNF'd a handful of hundreds out of the blue, because I'm a little bit stubborn, I don't give up easily, before I took a break and got this hip replaced.

我很容易就会想，我都老了，跑得也慢了，也许再也跑不了百公里甚至五十公里了。

Now I could easily think, I'm old, I'm slow, maybe I can't do hundreds or even a 50 k anymore.

但我依然还在比赛里。

But I'm still very much in the game.

这是我的选择。

That's my decision.

我一直在做恢复训练，也在逐步增加跑量，我已经安排了几场比赛，不管怎样我都会去参加的。

I've been working on recovery, upping my mileage, and I do have a couple of races scheduled that I'm actually gonna do somehow.

在我看来，这只是一次挫折。

And the way I see it, this was just a setback.

髋关节的问题以及因此导致的退赛，都只是挫折，是一手烂牌。

The hip thing and the DNFs I had because of my hip, just a setback, a bunch of bad hands.

即使髋关节置换改变了我的比赛方式，改变了我能参加的比赛，我依然对未来充满期待，因为我热爱这场比赛。

Even if my hip replacement changes the way I play, like changes the races I can do, I'm excited about what's ahead because I love playing the game.

客户们达成目标，完成梦想中的比赛。

And clients hit goals and they finish dream races.

他们也会错失目标，犯错误，受伤，休息。

They also miss goals and make mistakes and get injured and take breaks.

他们经历生活，学会如何更好地应对这场比赛。

They live life, and they learn how to play the game better.

我们都在不断学习如何更聪明、更自信地应对这场比赛，而且我们都还在场上。

We all keep learning how to play the game better and smarter, more confidently, and we're all still in the game.

当你把超马看作一场持续进行的比赛，而不是一局定胜负的牌局，你就能放松心态，头脑清晰，跑出你应有的水平，而不是紧张兮兮，拼命避免失败。

When you see ultrarunning like this as an ongoing game instead of a single hand that everything depends on, you can run relaxed and clear minded the way you know you can instead of tensed up and desperate not to fail.

一场比赛并不是那么重要。

One race isn't all important.

你会在这场比赛中全力以赴，但这并不是生死攸关的事。

And you're gonna play your all out best in this race, but it's not life or death.

这只是更大游戏中的一手牌。

It's only one hand in the bigger game.

如果你愿意，这手牌之后还会有下一手。

There will be another hand after this one if you want there to be.

尽你所能打好你手中的牌，这本身就是一种很大的乐趣。

And there is big fun in running to play the hand you were dealt with the best you can.

我很喜欢这样做。

I love doing that.

这让我觉得特别有意思，就像看着自己手里的牌，然后想，今天怎么才能把它打成一手好牌。

That makes it so fun to me, like, looking at the hand of cards I got dealt with and, like, let's see how I can make this the winning hand today.

这就是人们玩游戏的原因，看看你怎么通过自己的打法，把一手不完美的牌变成赢牌。

That's why people play games to see how you can turn an imperfect hand into a winning one by the way you play it.

而且不管比赛进行得怎么样，你都不会放弃或者中途退出。

And no matter how the race is going, you don't quit and walk out.

为什么要退出呢？

Why would you?

这一轮还没结束，而且你特别想知道你的策略和解决问题的办法会带来什么结果。

This round isn't over, and you're dying to see how all your strategies and problem solving will play out.

你还有可能赢下这一局。

You could still win this hand.

你想看看你能怎么打好这一手牌，还有下一手，再下一手。

You want to see what you can do with this hand and the next one and the next.

现在别担心。

Now don't worry.

把重要的比赛看作大局中的一手牌，并不会贬低这场比赛。

Seeing big races as only a hand in the bigger game doesn't belittle a race either.

比赛就是你玩这个游戏的方式。

Races are how you play the game.

比赛就是在那里进行的。

That's where the playing happens.

所以每一场比赛都很重要。

So they all matter.

你总是在努力打得更好，用你学到的新方法来应对消极想法，突破你以前没有突破过的地方，征服你一直害怕的那些夜晚。比赛就是你这次把牌打得更好、更聪明的机会。

And you're always trying to play better using the new tool for dealing with negative thoughts that you learn pushing where you haven't before, conquering the night hours that you've always dreaded, a race is your chance to play the hand better and smarter this time.

而且那些赌注大的重要比赛很有趣，也是一种不同的玩法。

And big races with big stakes are fun and a different way to play.

你有机会把你学到的一切都拿出来，整合在一起，发挥出你最好的水平，用它跑得更好，就像你一直等着打那手牌一样。

You get the chance to bring everything you learned and put it together, your absolute best, and use it to run better, like you've been waiting to play that hand.

换个角度想想。

And think about it this way.

你不可能把比赛搞砸。

You can't get a race wrong.

你不可能搞砸它。

You can't get it wrong.

你只能去玩。

You can only play.

如果你在听这期节目的时候有一场大赛即将到来，那太好了。

And if you have a big race coming up when you listen to this episode, perfect.

现在就花点时间，在脑海里退一步，从全局来看这场比赛，把它放在你正在进行的超级马拉松游戏的大背景中，连同你过去的所有比赛和未来想跑的比赛，看看这不过是众多牌局中的一局。

Take a moment right now and step back in your mind and take a big picture view and look at this race in terms of the big picture of the ultrarunning game you're playing, along with all your past races and the future ones you'd like to run, and see how this is one hand among many.

即使这些牌不完美，即使不是同花顺，你也要打出这些牌。

You're gonna play those cards even if they're not perfect, even if they're not a royal flush.

你会精彩地打出这些牌，那会非常有趣。

You're gonna play those cards brilliantly, and that's gonna be so fun.

你一直在学习的那些策略和一场场比赛积累的经验，你都不用去想。

All that strategy you've been learning and the experience you've gained race by race, you don't have to think about it.

你只需要在当下用你最好的方式打出你的牌，在这场大赛中，这一切都会自然而然地流露出来。

You're just gonna play your hand the best you know in the moment, and that's all gonna come automatically to you in this big race.

当你把这场比赛看作是整体的一部分时，你会感到紧张感得到释放。

Feel the tension release when you think about this race as part of a whole.

你报名参加这场高赌局的牌局，是为了好玩，也是为了挑战自己，因为你更想上场拼一把，而不是看着别人打，想把所有东西都真正付诸行动。

You signed up to play this high stakes round for the fun of it, for the challenge of it because it felt good to play instead of watch other people play, to put everything into action.

你一直在积累的那些技巧、策略和耐力，现在是时候把它们全拿出来，好好享受这一局，打好你手里的牌。

All the skills and strategy and endurance you've been building, now's the time to bring them all out and have fun with this round playing that hand.

别人的牌和你都不一样，所以没有唯一正确的打法。

No one else has the same hand you do either, so there's no right way to play it.

这是一个你想怎么玩就怎么玩的游戏。

This is a game you get to play any way you want.

你可以很有野心，也可以认真又好玩，也可以轻松随意，都行。

You can play it ambitious, serious fun, laid back, whatever.

没有人能替你做主，说这游戏该怎么玩。

No one else gets to tell you how to play the game.

你只需要做一件事：享受挑战，用自己想要的方式，尽你所能去打好这一局。

All you gotta do is enjoy the challenge of playing it the way you want to, the best you can.

把超长跑看成一场无限的游戏，这样失败带来的代价就看顾小了。

Seeing ultrarunning this way as an infinite game, it lowers the cost of failure.

一场比赛不至于决定生死。

One race isn't life or death.

所有的结果都不会只押在一场比赛上。

Everything is never riding on one race.

一场比赛根本不可能判定你作为超马选手的价值或能力。

One race cannot possibly be a verdict on your worth or your ability as an ultra runner.

你是在打一场更长的比赛。

You're playing a longer game.

这样能降低你的风险，因为只要你一直跑下去，就不存在失败这回事。

This lowers your risk because as long as you stay in the game of ultrarunning, you can't fail.

哪怕单场比赛也没法算作失败。

You can't even fail at a hand.

你只需要把手头的牌打好，从中吸取教训，然后把学到的经验用到下一场比赛里，争取表现得更好。

You can only play the hand the best you can, learn from it, and put what you learned into playing the next hand better.

所以这会让你在未来更有勇气去冒险。

So it frees you to take more risks in the future.

这也意味着你可以享受超马跑的乐趣，享受迎接挑战的过程。

And it means that you're allowed to have fun at ultrarunning, to enjoy meeting the challenge of it.

你可以有坏牌，也可以有好牌。

You're allowed to have bad hands and good hands.

重要的不是结果。

It's not so much about the outcome.

重要的是你怎么打这场游戏。

It's about how you're playing the game.

你想玩多久就玩多久。

You're allowed to keep playing as long as you want.

你不必因为年龄或速度下降而停下。

You don't have to stop with age or loss of speed.

这场游戏永远为你敞开。

The game is always there for you.

如果你想，你可以改变比赛的地点和方式，但它永远在那里等着你。

You get to change where and how you play the game if you want to, but it's always there for you.

记住，超级马拉松是你选择去玩的一个游戏。

And remember, ultrarunning is a game that you choose to play.

这不是你被迫去做的，也不是你必须做的。

It's not something you're forced into doing or you have to.

这不是你被困住的事情。

It's not something you're trapped in.

这不是一个你必须通过才能证明自己够格的测试。

It's not a test you have to pass to see if you make the cut somehow.

你是在这一局中测试自己的技能，因为你想要玩这个游戏。

You're testing your own skills in this hand because you wanna play the game.

你好奇自己能做到什么程度，无论结果如何，你都会接受，然后报名参加下一局。

You're curious to see how you can do, and you'll take however it shakes out and sign up for another hand.

所以让自己享受其中吧。

So let yourself have fun with it.

享受迎接挑战的过程。

Enjoy meeting the challenge.

享受运用你的技能和经验，把它们付诸实践，带出去好好玩一玩。

Enjoy exercising your skills and your experience and putting them into action, taking them out to play.

这真的很有趣。

That is so fun.

你可以完成这一局，也可以不完成，但这只是一局，你想玩多少局就能玩多少局。

You can finish this hand or not, but it's just one hand, and you get to play as many hands as you want.

没有限制。

There is no limit.

因为超级马拉松是一场无限的游戏，而你还在游戏中。

Because ultrarunning is an infinite game, and you're still in the game.

而且由你决定怎么玩。

And you decide how you're gonna play it.

好了，各位。

Alright, you all.

这就是本周的节目。

That's this week's episode.

感谢收听。

Thanks for listening.

如果你认识的人可能需要我们，请分享给他们。

If you know someone who could use us, share it with them.

那可能正是他们需要听到的。

It might be exactly what they need to hear.

下周见。

See you next week.

再见。

Bye.

在结束今天的节目之前，我想问你一个问题。

Before we wrap up today's episode, let me ask you something.

你是否在身体上已经竭尽全力，却发现比赛中最大的挑战不是双腿，而是心态？

Are you doing everything you can physically but still finding that the hardest part of racing isn't your legs, it's your mind?

因为在40英里、60英里、80英里处，超马真正的挑战不是体能。

Because at mile 40, mile 60, mile 80, the real challenge of ultrarunning isn't fitness.

关键在于做决定。

It's decision making.

在于专注。

It's focus.

在于应对大脑开始给你找各种理由让你放弃的时刻。

It's handling the moments when your brain starts offering you very convincing reasons to stop.

大多数跑者认真训练身体，但很少有人训练心理技能，以便更好地应对那些时刻。

Most runners train their bodies seriously, but very few ever train the mental skills that allow them to handle those moments well.

这就是我在一对一辅导中做的事情。

That's the work I do in my one on one coaching.

在我的心理掌控辅导中，我们培养经验丰富的超马跑者在艰难比赛中依赖的心理掌控技能。

In my Mental Mastery Coaching, we develop the mental mastery skills that experienced ultrarunners rely on during difficult races.

比如在压力下解决问题、管理疑虑和疲劳、在比赛深入时保持专注，以及在事情不按计划进行时做出明智的决定。

Things like problem solving under pressure, managing doubt and fatigue, staying focused deep into a race, and making smart decisions when things aren't going according to plan.

因为目标不仅仅是希望比赛顺利。

Because the goal isn't just to hope that your race goes well.

目标是成为那种无论比赛出什么状况都能应对的跑者。

The goal is to become the kind of runner who knows how to handle whatever the race throws at you.

如果你想朝这个方向发展你的跑步，那就通过节目简介里的链接预约一次免费的一小时咨询吧。

If that's the direction you wanna go with your running, book a free one hour consult call through the link in the show notes.

我们会一起回顾你参加的比赛，看看是什么在阻碍你，以及教练如何帮你掌握更好应对比赛的技能。

We'll go over your races, what's been getting in the way, and how coaching will help you develop the skills to handle races better.
