Why Do People Get Upset With Their Finishing Times?

In this episode, we unpack the surprising emotional weight behind race results and marathon finish times. From the pressure of personal goals to the comparison trap fuelled by apps and social media, we explore why runners sometimes cross the finish line feeling frustrated instead of proud.

We break down:

• The psychology behind time-based disappointment

• How expectations and identity shape race-day emotions

• The difference between healthy ambition and harmful self-criticism

• How to reframe a “bad” time into meaningful progress

• Stories and insights from everyday runners and endurance athletes

Whether you’re chasing a PR, running your first marathon, or trying to understand the runner in your life, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical takeaways for the next starting line.
