In this episode, we break down two very different race stories with one common theme — resilience. Ryan reflects on his race in Atlanta, where an unexpected obstacle early on forced him to adjust on the fly and test his mindset mid-race. Meanwhile, Meg came out swinging in Maastricht, putting together her best race yet after nearly a year of rebuilding.

We unpack what these performances mean, how each athlete’s training will change (or stay the same), and what lessons you can take into your own prep — whether you’re racing through setbacks or building back stronger.
