In today’s episode, I want to talk about why you should commit to an endurance challenge. Running is such a beautiful example of how you can show up for yourself, and it’s also a powerful lesson in goal setting. While it’s one thing to say you’re going to run or train for a certain event, it’s an entirely different thing to actually commit, and do the dang thing! When you push past the limits of what you think is possible, it unlocks an entirely new capacity for what IS possible in your life.

 

In this episode, we cover:

• My journey to never feeling confident or coordinated doing any type of athletics, to a place of loving and honoring my body with running and regular movement
• Learning to set a goal that you can actually reverse engineer + why running is one of the most powerful lessons in goal setting
• The moment I vowed to never pass on the ugly diet culture mentality to my children
• Understanding what your priorities are and being okay with asking for help when you need it
• Growing the ‘muscles’ of grit and tenacity by doing hard things that you never thought you were capable of, but feel so proud of when you do
• The fantastic health benefits that come from running (or any type of endurance challenge)
• What my training plan looks like
