As we sat here and prepared for this podcast we couldn't really decide on just one topic... So we decided we'd do a 'catch up' episode and share all the things and where we are at in this season!
One big topic of discussion is the importance of setting race day goals beyond just numerical or accolade-related goals. This can include goals like having fun, crossing the finish line, or simply showing up to the start line with a smile - those goals all count and should be celebrated!
By focusing on these non-time goals, you can also improve your time goals as a byproduct. Ultimately you should choose goals that align with your personal desires and preferences, rather than solely focusing on achieving specific numerical outcomes.
And... we're announcing something exciting on the podcast today! We're putting together a rad doc of all the things you need to know about Chicago marathon weekend.
