By Christopher Hunt| Tonal@ Oklahoma-born trainer Lance Parker lives by a code that influences the way he works, the way he trains, the way he communicates, and the way he coaches: “Focus on the things you can control. Ignore the rest,” he says. This is a Stoicism philosophy called the dichotomy of control. It suggests that if you focus only on what’s within your power, you will feel more responsible for whatever happens in your life.

By Christopher Hunt| Tonal@ Tonal coach Kristina Centenari is still pinching herself after running the fastest marathon of her life. “There’s no reason on paper that I should have done what I did,” she said just days after the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon. She crossed the finish line in 3 hours, 24 minutes, and 46 seconds, roughly two minutes faster than her previous best. In truth, it is baffling. Just seven months ago, 28-year-old Centenari had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in her right knee.
