In this episode, we discuss “Failure.” If you don’t nail a workout or race is that a failure, or an opportunity to grow, learn and get even better. When those workouts are not going perfectly, what do you do? How you do re-adjust your focus? All your workouts are all pieces to the puzzle, the good ones and the bad ones are valuable. You are certainly not a failure when things don’t go well. Stay positive and keep charging forward.
