We’ve all been there…
You take one day off from training.
Then one day turns into two.
Two turns into seven.
And before you know it, weeks have gone by and your race is right around the corner. Cue the “oh shit” moment.
If your race is only 6–8 weeks away and your training has completely fallen apart, what do you do? Do you just throw in the towel? Or is there a way to right the ship and get yourself back on track?
In this episode, I’m walking you through a step-by-step process to help you figure out where things went wrong, how to reset, and what to prioritize with the time you have left. We’ll cover:
Sometimes the smartest move is to show up and salvage what you can. Other times, the boldest decision is to pull back and live to train another day. Either way, you’ll come out of this episode with clarity, confidence, and a plan.
Oh—and if you’re already looking ahead to 2026? Don’t miss my Annual Training Plan Workshop coming up soon. Make sure you’re in my Run Your First 50k Facebook group or on my email list so you don’t miss the details.
