Jeff Pelletier on what to say when a race gets hard: remember why you chose to be there and what you sacrificed to train. That memory is enough to push through.

It's not if things get hard, it's when things get hard. There's always a low point or multiple low points typically. When that happens, I just remind myself that I paid for this. I chose to be here. I trained for this. I try to remember why I did those things, why I took time off and I sacrificed so much, not in the race, but in the training. I want to see how I'm going to rise to that challenge when things get hard.
