In this episode of Midweek Motivation on the Run the Riot Podcast, we dive into the topic of setbacks. Whether you’re a runner who has faced a tough race or someone navigating life’s unexpected detours, this episode is for you. David shares his personal experience of a tough DNF at the Moab 240 and how it taught him that setbacks are not the end of the road—they're opportunities to grow.

  • Why setbacks are a reality for everyone, even the pros.
  • How to reframe setbacks as opportunities to learn and improve.
  • Building resilience through challenges to come back stronger.
  • Practical steps for evaluating your setbacks and setting fresh goals.
  • How reconnecting with your “why” can reignite your passion and purpose.

  • Finally, hear how David overcame his own challenges and returned to Moab to finish the race that once knocked him down.
