Synopsis

The pressure was immense. Failure wasn't an option; to be dropped from the team was a career-ending blow. He had to maintain the pace, push through the exhaustion, and complete the run. Every stride was a calculated effort, a relentless battle against his own limitations. He focused on the rhythm of his feet, the steady burn in his muscles, anything to keep the doubt at bay. He would not falter. Complete the run, or be left behind.
