In this week's episode, we recap Katie's postpartum 10K race and the lessons that came from a tough but rewarding day on the course, including where and how her pacing strategy didn’t go exactly according to plan, the mental strategies that helped her stay in the fight, and why she's actually more proud of this race than others that went "better" on paper. We also discuss race-day mindset, building goals that truly resonate, why every race is a rich learning environment, and how to think about racing as simply an expression of your fitness on that particular day. We wrap with reflections on Western States, evolving training philosophies in ultrarunning, and why your "normal" in training should evolve with different seasons of life. Check it out!
