Yet we overlook the fact that those problems and limitations are discernible only because of our very capacity... Read more

During the first half of the twentieth century, scientists, physicians, athletes and trainers believed that it was impossible for a human to run a mile in less than four minutes. People had tried unsuccessfully for decades to break this barrier.

You long to go through the process, to make... Read more
