Abstract: This dissertation examines self-body-environment relations under conditions where the body is undergoing changes in the course of its activity. Twenty-seven marathon runners were interviewed in order to provide insight into self-body-environment relations as they undergo various transformations in training over the course of months and while racing over the course of hours. This research identifies multiple and dynamic self-body-environment relations, affecting experiences of time, space and effort, the perceptions of taskscape and landscape, and different modes of being (not-yet-able, able-restrained, unable-restrained, no-longer able, able-again) and describes bodily activities (cultivating, preparing, equipping, saving, spending).
