Birgit Kroha explains it like this: “The fascination of experiencing the world on an ongoing basis, having managed to endure all the pain and conquered the body, going beyond one’s limits, also mentally, all that is the marathon experience. And when you cross the finish line, it’s an incomparable moment and everything is forgotten.”
