Episode 65: Planning my 'off the couch' fast and smooth marathon (LIVE PODCAST)


Listen Later

This was a fun experiment in podcasting, my very first LIVE podcast that was streamed on Twitter as I recorded. I wanted to bring you inside of how I think about planning and executing improvised physical challenges that are just for me. 

I'm running an 'off the couch' fast and smooth marathon but winter has conspired to complicate the entire idea of why I wanted to do it. But as often happens, the true meaning emerges not in the ease but in the adversity that's in the way. Instead of lamenting that a certain 'time' can't be hit now and why bother with that, the struggle to just figure it out and give an honest go with your best effort is never off the table. 

And for me, that's what makes fitness fun. Not having everything perfect but having to make the good emerge out of the chaos of life. This is as inside my mind as I've gotten when it comes to how these wild challenges come about and how I figure out how to take them down.

Onward to 26.2 frozen miles!
