#21 Two Miles to the Top: Lessons in Perseverance from Simon Marshall
It’s hard to keep going without knowing where the finish line is.
But you can persevere more easily with some techniques like segmentation (“Two miles to the top.”)
Simon Marshall, my former mentor and coach, who passed away from pancreatic cancer on June 1, 2024, taught me this on a fateful day in 2017.
Hear a touching story of how he impacted my life and inspired me to attempt to ride 100k in the upcoming Tour De Cure 2024 in his memory.
He and his wife Lesley Paterson offer many other valuable lessons in enduring suffering in their book, The Brave Athlete.
