When you hit the wall – Sunday 24th October 2021
What does it mean to ‘hit the wall’ during an endurance race? The Americans call it ‘bonking’, and by any name it’s a pretty awful experience. When you hit the wall, it feels like you have run face-first into a stack of bricks. Your legs start feeling like concrete posts, every step is a triumph of will and you seriously doubt that the race actually has a finish line. In general, hitting the wall refers to depleting your stored energy and the feelings of fatigue and negativity that typically accompany it. When you run low on energy, even your brain wants to shut down activity as a preservation method, which leads to the negative thinking that comes along with hitting the wall. Most of us must have felt at some stage in the past season we’ve hit the wall. How can we respond to this experience?
