If all you care about is this big end result, It's demoralizing and defeating and you have to rely on willpower alone and none of us have enough willpower to do that. But if you just get that cycle started, there it is. So to me, motivation doesn't come first, effort comes first.

So running the marathon is your big goal. But as you said, if that's all you focus on is being able to run 26 miles and you can only run one, you're going to quit because it's too far. And you feel bad after that one mile, you're never going to get there.

Running a marathon, though, you can back it up and say, OK, what are the steps and stages that I'm going to have to go through in order to build up the endurance and stamina and speed and all that other stuff that will allow me to get there? And there are plenty of people in the world who can lay that program out for you. So you know what to do. So the goal informs the process.

Then you just say, okay, I've got a, whatever it is, six-month plan. What's tomorrow? Tomorrow is I'm going to go run a mile and a half. Cool. When you run the mile and a half, you can check it off.
