“…More than a decade on, although several studies have researched profound things (e.g. Clemens and Cushing, 2010; Latham, 2013; Gorichanaz, 2016a, b; Caidi, 2019; Huttunen and Kortelainen, 2021), a theoretical exposition of the concept of profundity in information science research has not been attempted.

According to Gorichanaz (2016), the research conducted by Hanson et al (2015) categorizes the motivations that drive individuals by their running distances. While half marathon runners are mainly motivated by health and weight-related reasons, marathon runners aim to achieve their goals and ultra marathon runners aim to make their lives meaningful.…”
