About this episode

<p>History has been made. The London Marathon just witnessed the unthinkable as the sub-two-hour barrier was finally shattered in a race for the ages. Olympic marathoner Stephen Scullion returns for an immediate, high-stakes reaction to the "perfect storm" that allowed two athletes to achieve what was once considered humanly impossible.</p><br><p>In this special reaction episode, Stephen breaks down the "world-news" moment when the clock started with a "one," dissecting everything from the elite fueling and shoe tech to the psychological warfare of having a rival on your shoulder.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Beyond the hype, he uses this historic milestone to challenge the "lie detector" of our own commitment, asking if we are truly willing to pay the "sacrifice tax" required to reach our own ultimate potential.</p><br><p>Better Help 👉 Join Spencer in Saying It Louder with 10% off Betterhelp Therapy.
