If you're feeling athletically restless, this is your episode. We’re going to help you recenter yourself as we’re focusing on how to dig back into training and set appropriate performance goals.

Helping us to that is Olympian and sports psychology coach Roisin McGettigan-Dumas. Ro is the co-author of the Believe Training Journal, as well as a co-host of the Keeping Track podcast. She lives in Providence, RI with her husband and three kids.

Ro shares:

—Why it's vital to understand your reason behind your goal and race;

—How procrastination can lure—and then bite—you;

—Why it's normal to dread a challenging workout, and how to soften its edges;

—Why a 4% improvement is an optimal goal to set.
