Answer:

Yes there is

I think that a metaphor can be found in the last stanza. There, Kipling says

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run

He is using running as a metaphor for life. He is saying that you have to try your hardest all the time, even if it leaves you exhausted, which is what running does
