MWM Episode 80 - Plan, but Pivot if you Need to


Listen Later

Ever had a race—or a life plan—go sideways? You laid out the spreadsheets, packed the drop bags, prepped the fuel… and then something unexpected knocked it all off course?

In today’s Midweek Motivation, we’re talking about the power of planning—and the wisdom of pivoting.


Coach David Theriot dives into:

• Why a solid plan shows discipline and intention

• Real-world ultrarunning examples of when a plan breaks down

• What we can learn from Cam Ridley’s support of Angela Smith at the Prairie Spirit 100

• How to adjust in the moment without panicking

• When pivoting is strength—not weakness

• Life lessons from training, racing, and even the Midnight Madness 100 he’s jumping into


Whether you’re running your first 50K or trying to hold your life together through unexpected turns, this one’s for you. Remember: Plans are powerful—but clinging to them too tightly can run you into the ground. The best runners—and the strongest people—know when it’s time to adapt
