My favorite part of the marathon is how it shows what true competition is. It’s not about destroying your opponents, it’s about elevating one another. Competition isn’t a simple binary: me vs. you. It’s going on an exploration, to see where your limits lie, and learn how close you get to them.
Take yesterday's Chicago Marathon. Conner Mantz set the American Record. But midway through the race, he shares his fueling bottle with a competitor who missed theirs. Two men battling each other with tens of thousands of dollars in prize money on the line... Yet, they help one another out. That’s respect for the craft, the moment, and the shared suffering of doing something hard.
This wasn't the only moment. You see it all the time in running. Sharing the load in pacing. Figuring out how to work together to real the next pack in. Passing someone and giving hope, "Come with me, just latch on." They battle fiercely but understand: we go farther when we push each other.
Real competition isn’t about hate. It’s about mutual recognition—“this is hard, and you truly get it” That shared understanding drives performance in a way fear never can. Because when you compete with others, not against them, everyone’s ceiling rises.
The internet version of competition tells you to “crush the enemy. Hate your opponents..." But look to the actual arenas... What you’ll see isn’t contempt. It's a shared understanding. Even the fiercest rivals know: iron sharpens iron.
Research backs this up. When cooperation and respect coexist with competition, performance improves. Shared effort increases motivation and emotional regulation under stress. The nervous system performs best not in isolation, but in sync.
True competitors don’t just raise their own bar. They raise the entire field. They understand that excellence isn’t a zero-sum game. It’s a shared pursuit that requires each other’s best
The marathon teaches us what competition really means: Pushing each other. Respecting the challenge. Celebrating that we get to do something hard, together. That’s what makes sport—and life—worth it.
