This article compares the process of earning a doctorate to running a marathon. It states that it is common practice for marathoners to join a community of practice. The task of running a marathon is typically too great to do alone, and support via the community of practice is needed to accomplish the task. With the length of time involved, one needs support to get through the doctorate. The article describes the challenges at 10 miles, 20 miles, and completion of a marathon and shows the parallels to earning a doctorate.
