The "Wall" : the point at which glycogen levels become depleted in the muscles and liver and the body literally hits a dead end. Carrying on at this point is either pointless or painful, mostly both. I believe training should bring you to this point so that you get to know the feeling, learn to get beyond it and no longer fear it.
Tonight I overcome the food equivalent of such a "Wall". I will probably refer back to this victory when I am struggling up some hill / alpine pass in Scotland on the 7th day of my tour. I no longer fear this ride or any of the "walls" it can throw up.
