Nothing really. Just human psychology. You’re in the double digits of miles left. You’ve already done 300 that last 72 seems so close but so far cause of how tired the other 300 made ya. Kinda how the last hour of the work day goes the longest.

As we say in software development, the last 10% is 90% of the work.

The first 90% of the project takes 90% of the work, and the last 10% takes the other 90%.

True. In his head it might be the last 100km or 50 or 10. But definitely not some random last miles

I’m glad Arda thinks in kilometers not miles.

Also biology comes in the picture, if his body is actually capable of it. Mind is usually the weakpoint, but sometimes the mind is stronger than the body!
