About this listen

At Charring Cross Station during the London Marathon, 800,000 spectators watched as three men, including Kenya's Sebastian Sawai, broke the marathon world record — Sawai finishing in 1:59:30.

The narrator, a former marathoner who once ran a 3:30, reflects on how limits are often planted by others and are not real. Drawing parallels to the breaking of the four-minute mile, they urge listeners to stop accepting imposed limits and to take the plunge.
