12. More Than the Finisher's Medal: Why I Train for Endurance Events

from School of Midlife · host Laurie Reynoldson

I've run 11 marathons, finished 1 Half-Ironman, and I am currently training for my second 29029 Everesting challenge. I'm admittedly slow. I'll never win my age group. Why do I keep signing up for endurance challenges when I'm squarely a mid-packer, and I don't have anything to show for it, save a finisher's medal and maybe a t-shirt?In this episode, I'll take you behind the scenes as I wind-down the training for my next endurance event happening in just 3 weeks. I'll discuss my motivation for training for and completing endurance events, and I'll share the three reasons I keep adding races to my calendar...and why you should think about it, too.Mentioned in this episode:⛰29029 EVERESTING EVENT: https://29029everesting.com/ 📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩  Email Laurie 💻 WebsiteOn InstagramOn LinkedInWork with Laurie
