323: Chasing Goals

Why do you want to chase that goal? We often think that we need a deep reason, and while that can be helpful, sometimes it’s just fun to see what we are capable of. Many runners notice that they are feeling unsatisfied with their running for some reason, and it could be because they are setting goals that are too small.  We as runners like to be challenged, so if we are setting small goals that we know we can accomplish, it makes sense that we could be feeling some of that disconnect.  

So what should we do?  If we set goals that are too big, we might not accomplish them, but if we set goals that are too small, we might end up feeling empty or unsatisfied.  Let’s dive in to today’s episode and talk this one out.
