The finish line isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of what comes next. In this final episode of our Race Series, Michaela and Erin dive deep into the emotional highs and lows after race day, how to process the “post-race blues,” and why reflection is the secret weapon for becoming a stronger lifelong athlete. Whether your race went perfectly or totally fell apart, this episode will help you reset, recover, and refocus without rushing into the next big thing.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why a post-race reflection is just as important as training
• How to process the emotional rollercoaster after finishing a race
• The difference between ego-driven vs. readiness-driven decisions
• Practical tips for journaling and capturing lessons while they’re fresh
• How long to rest after half and full marathons (and why it’s so individual)
• The truth about post-race blues and how to navigate them with grace
