Miles and mindset: The psychological toll of multi-marathoning
Multi-marathoners did not consistently show lower depression or anxiety. While many exhibited low or subclinical symptoms, a subgroup showed clinically significant mental health issues. This highlights psychological variability and the limitations of group-level analysis, underscoring the need for targeted mental health assessments and individualised support.
