In dem Zusammenhang finde ich die Geschichte von Ryan Hall, dem schnellsten US-Marathoner überhaupt, als passend

Der wunderte sich schon immer:
“I’ve been small and weak my entire life—just, like, totally underdeveloped,” Hall said. “I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to be big and strong.”
Und durch sein Laufpensum bedingt:
Hall, whose personal best in the marathon was 2:04:58, retired from running at age 33, because chronically low testosterone and extreme fatigue would no longer allow him to train at the level necessary to compete.
Und mit 40 Pfund mehr Muskeln auf dem Fahrgestell meint er jetzt
“I feel like it’s giving life to my body instead of taking it away,” he said. “Now I can go run and not feel fatigued and feel good. But I’m also doing so much less running-wise than I ever have—like, 12 miles a week compared to 12 miles a day.”
