Reminds me of my friend who used to run marathons. One time she ran past a runner who was dragging his socks and wiped out mentally. He asked her much further it was, her reply was 10 km. The guy almost tainted when he heard this as in his worn out state he did not know that 10 km was only about 6 miles. Once she explained to him it was only six miles, he picked up the pace and finished in a good time...
