mackem 23,998 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Theres a guy called Kevin Carr just completed a round the world run today,took him 2 years,he was interviewed earlier on the news,said the physical side of the run wasnt so bad once you got into the routine,said it was the mental wall he kept running into that was the tough part.Ranulph Feinnes is in the sahara desert at the moment,running 156 miles in 6 days in sizzling heat,he is 71 years old,I read an interview he once did,he is mentally focused. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,124 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 different types of toughness some happy to get in a scrap but if you asked them to do 8 hours work which involved physical discomfort all day would be crying like a baby Another example like mackem has given requires toughness again when your legs and body are screaming stop but you just run through it 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 imo being tough is a combination of physical and mental robustness and nothing else. being focused or talented etc has feck all to do with it,the physical sides more nurture the mental side more nurture imo. i'm sure we all know lads who's fathers are tough basterds but they themselves are complete fannys. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
