I wonder how separate "willpower" is from the central governor theory [0]? Maybe they're completely unrelated and both tire fires.
But I remember reading Tim Noakes' whole ~1000 page tome "Lore of Running" 15 years ago (in high school) which discussed the idea at length and thinking "If only I could have some control over my central governor, I could run under 4 minutes." Is that the same as hoping to "will your way" to a sub 4:00 mile?

Not sure where the research stands now.
