The key is to break down the big goal into small ones. In my mind I don't cycle 18,000 km, I always cycle to the next gas station or restaurant and reward myself with some chocolate.

More quotes by Jonas Deichmann

Pain is temporary, great memories last forever.

The hardest thing is always getting to the starting line and having the courage to do it. Most adventures fail because they are never done.

When someone says to me, no one’s done that before, I say: great, then I can be the first.

I don’t think about the fact that I have to complete a marathon a day. I run one kilometre at a time. If I can do one, I can do another. That way, it never seems overwhelming.

I never panic. I focus. And I block things out. I tell myself: This is not doing me any good now, don't speed up, stay in rhythm. That's the shore over there, that's where we're going now, and that's all that matters now.
