Listen Later

One thing every runner understands is struggle. Having just (both of us) completed the Chicago Marathon, we decided to dive deep into the topic of struggle and our experiences surrounding

  • embracing the struggle and

  • The World of Running

    As always, before discussing our main topic, we shared some of the most recent tidbits dominating the running conversation this week:

    • Eliud Kipchoge's INEOS 1:59 Challenge
    • A whole lot of Chicago Marathon (more on that here)
      • Brigid Kosgei's new world record
      • Parker Stinson's impressive 2:10:53
      • ANDI RAN HER FIRST EVER OTQ (Olympic Trials Qualifier)!
      • Main Topic: The Struggle

        We break it down like this:

        • embracing the struggle means thriving amidst the pain
        • overcoming the struggle means understanding what you CAN control and learning HOW to control it
        • To illustrate, we highlight those points with examples and experiences of how struggle in and out of running interrelates. Then we wrap it up with a short list of helpful ways to overcome struggle, like:

          • prioritizing effectively
