Blurb
It's 2026 in a beachside town in Australia and Maxi Fleet is running towards her dream of one day competing in the Olympic marathon.
With an eclectic team of coaches, Maxi explores how to push her physical, mental and emotional boundaries. Jack Cram, a PhD student of physics has an innovative theory about stretching time. Will he be able to coordinate her coaching for success in elite competition? This is the story of two ambitious personalities in a growing love relationship, who explore marathon running, dissecting its pain and rewards. Inspired by psychology, neuroscience and imaginative physics. They discover endurance by extreme-flow, 'in the zone' of optimal achievement when time limited by performance stress is mitigated, enabling earlier accomplishment.
Maxi and Jack give their venture everything they have. If Maxi achieves her goal, Jack's theory will be established and widely adopted by athletes, performers and entrepreneurs. If she doesn't, who has more to lose: Jack or Maxi?
