In 490 BCE, Pheidippides, a Greek soldier, ran from the plain of Marathon to the city of Athens to deliver a message announcing the defeat of an invading Persian army. Upon completing his mission, he collapsed and died. Indeed, Pheidippides’s feat offers a useful metaphor: Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Entrepreneur, writer, and fitness enthusiast Sahil Bloom examines the lessons a marathon road race — a 26-mile [42-km] test of stamina and endurance — can impart.
