With recent news released by the BAA about updating Boston Qualifying standards we wanted to bring our coaches group chat conversation about the news, to share with you. In this episode, we unpack the whirlwind of emotions that athletes are feeling as they grapple with the new times. From frustration to head down, keep showing up kinda determination, we share our personal experiences and insights on how these changes impact our running goals. 

Join us as we celebrate the small victories and remind ourselves that running is about more than just qualifying for prestigious races. We discuss the importance of mindset, the thrill of showing up at the start line, and how to embrace the journey, no matter the obstacles.
