Everyone is running from something. Some people fill their lives with shopping, drinking, overeating, sex, work...pick your poison. I'm not sure that it's correct to say that endurance athletes have "special" demons, that the rest of the population doesn't.
In fact, I'd say that adults involved in endurance sports are probably more well adjusted than the populace as a whole. Exercise promotes good health, physical and mental.
