As that thinking goes, once the minutes are used up, the machine stops or its driver is simply unwilling to go on. Unlike a recreational athlete who may carry on for ages like a Toyota, according to this particular theory, a performance athlete's days are numbered, at least in terms of the drive for high performance physical operation. In this instance, it might be helpful to think of performance athletes more like the stereotypical ...
