Why Mile 22?
In a marathon, Mile 22 is known as a point of transformation. It can be the most challenging part of the race– a time when one may feel vanquished and succumb to the stress of the race. This can also be a moment when a runner taps into a part of themselves that gives them the power and strength to push through the emotional and physical challenge and finish the race. Like any circumstance in life that requires this kind of effort and where one may question their ability to succeed, there is a positive turning point. This understanding of personal power can push anyone beyond that which they thought they were capable. This is true transformation—in running and in life.
