This episode, with Candice Peak, dives deep into the impact of different goals, data metrics, mindsets, and community on our relationship with running. Candice is a Boston-based fitness instructor, runner, and passionate dog mom, who works 9-to-5 in communications and marketing. A former collegiate swimmer and resistant runner, Candice now loves bringing people together through movement, especially running!

In this episode we talk about:

-the curse of competitiveness and being too data-focused  

-breaking free from time and outcome goals

-the benefits of running with others; finding your running community 

-balancing training with a busy schedule 

-process-oriented goals for running success
