Setback or Set Up? What to Do When the Plan Changes

Send us a text

You trained. You traveled. You were ready to race. Then… everything changed.

In this episode of Running with James, we share the behind-the-scenes story of our trip to HYROX NYC—where canceled waves meant no race and plenty of unexpected emotions. But what started as disappointment became a powerful lesson in perspective.

We’re diving into what it really means to face setbacks in racing, training, and life—and how to flip the script when your plans fall apart.

You’ll learn:

• How to process disappointment without letting it define you
• Practical tools to shift your mindset when things go sideways
• Why setbacks often lead to greater strength, clarity, and purpose
• The difference between failing and getting feedback
• How to build the kind of grit that outlasts any obstacle

Because sometimes the plan changes… but the mission doesn’t. And when you respond with resilience, every setback can become your greatest setup.
