Ten Thousand represents a stoic dedication to continuous improvement. Every day faster, every day stronger, every day better than yesterday. They don’t believe in overnight success, miracle drugs, cure-alls, quick-fixes or short-cuts. They believe in works in progress. They believe in the value of their failures. They believe in dusting off, and getting back up. They believe in grit, tenacity and grinding. They know that there are no flashbulbs at the end of our runs and no microphones waiting to be shoved in their faces after a set. All that awaits is another mile, another rep, another shot at your personal best and eventually, a better, stronger you.
