NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
Hitting the wall, a phenomenon where runners suddenly experience extreme fatigue and a sharp decline in performance, is a well-documented challenge in long-distance running. The concept is often attributed to the depletion of glycogen stores in the muscles, but research suggests that psychological factors may also play a significant role. Understanding the causes of hitting the wall is important for runners seeking to improve their performance and complete marathons successfully.
