To investigate whether runners' cognitions during a marathon are related to "hitting the wall". To test a new and more comprehensive system for classifying cognition of marathon runners.
Non-elite runners (n = 66) completed a questionnaire after finishing the 1996 London marathon. The runners were recruited through the charity SPARKS for whom they were raising money by running in the race.
Most runners reported that during the race their thoughts were internally associative, with internally dissociative thoughts being the least prevalent. Runners who "hit the wall" used more internal dissociation than other runners, indicating that it is a hazardous strategy, probably because sensory feedback is blocked. However, internal association was related to an earlier onset of "the wall", suggesting that too much attention on physical symptoms may magnify them, thereby exaggerating any discomfort. External dissociation was related to a later onset, probably because it may provide a degree of distraction but keeps attention on the race.
"Hitting the wall" for recreational non-elite marathon runners is associated with their thought patterns during the race. In particular, "the wall" is associated with internal dissociation.
研究马拉松跑者在比赛过程中的认知与“撞墙期”是否相关。测试一种用于对马拉松跑者认知进行分类的全新且更全面的系统。
非精英跑者（n = 66）在完成1996年伦敦马拉松赛后填写了一份问卷。这些跑者是通过慈善机构SPARKS招募而来，他们通过参加比赛为该机构筹集资金。
大多数跑者表示，在比赛过程中他们的思维是内在关联的，内在解离性思维最为少见。“撞墙”的跑者比其他跑者更多地使用内在解离，这表明这是一种危险的策略，可能是因为感觉反馈受阻。然而，内在关联与更早出现“撞墙期”有关，这表明对身体症状过度关注可能会放大这些症状，从而加剧任何不适。外在解离与较晚出现“撞墙期”有关，可能是因为它可能提供一定程度的分心，但能让注意力保持在比赛上。
对于业余非精英马拉松跑者来说，“撞墙期”与他们在比赛中的思维模式有关。特别是，“撞墙期”与内在解离有关。
