Competition is a factor ineducation. On a global scale, national education systems, intending to bring
out the best in the next generation, encourage competitiveness among students by scholarships. Countries
like Singapore and England have a special education program which caters to special students, promting
charges of academic elitism. Upon receipt of their academic results, students tend to compare their grades
to see who is better. For servere cases, the pressure to perfrom in some countries is so high that it results in
stigmatization of intellectually deficient students or even suicide as consequence of failing the exams, Japan
being a prime example. This has resulted in critical revaluation of examinations as a whole by educationists.
Critics of competition as opposed to excellence as a motivating factor in education systems, such as Alfie
Kohn, assert that competition actually has a net negative influence on the achivement levels of students
and that it “turns all of us into losers.”
Competitions also make up a large proponent of extracurricular activities that students partake in.
Such competitions include TVO’s broadcast Reach for the Top competition, FIRST Robotics, Duke Annual
Robo-Climb Competition(DARC) and the University of Toronto Space Design Contest.

Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, but many coaches believe that it is possible for
anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants don’t run a marathon to
win. More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific
age group and gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barriers. For example, ambitious
recreational first-timers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours, more competitive runners will attempt
to run under 3 hours. Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them “sub-
3:30h marathoners”, instead of 3:30:01.
For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe
that the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to
reach a maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when
training for the marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon
training, adequate recovery times is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a break for a
couple of days or more to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough
rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed
and place a runner at a greater risk of injury.
