Jason Hartmann a competitive runner running different marathons all over the world. He has been competing to hopefully get a place in the Olympics. All the runners are trying to qualify for hard spots for money in the Olympics. Although he got 8th place in the twin city Olympics he wants to run Chicago for a better time and harder competition.
There are many connections from class in this article from the Runnersworld website. The Chicago marathon has thousands of runners that compete for a shot while there are only a few spots for people to get money or place in. Some of the runners running less than 3 hours have a chance of making it to have one of the few spots to train for the Olympics. This is related to the idea of scarcity. There are few spots for many runners.
Hartmann was training with the Boulder running group which broke in when the group broke up. He thought he was set for the season in training but because of bad planning he had to scramble to find a new coach before his big race. This is related to the concept of “there is no such thing as a free lunch” because for every decision there is a consequence. He decided to run with a group thinking it would be better for him but in reality it turns out the way he thought.
When they are training for the marathon they put in 100 of hours of running to make sure that there efficient in what they run. The more you work and improve the more efficient you are. Just like efficiency in the economy. The more you work at it the fast and smoother you will work like the economy.
