428: Resilience

In this week’s episode, we’re continuing our Core Values series by diving into one of the most powerful values for runners and for life: resilience.Resilience isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about bouncing back, learning, and growing stronger with every setback. We’ll share stories from our own running and coaching journeys, along with practical strategies you can use to build your own resilience on the run and beyond.From tough races and challenging workouts to the curveballs life throws your way, resilience is what helps you keep moving forward. We’ll talk about how recovery, gratitude, and the support of a strong community all play a role in helping you rise, reset, and run with strength.If you’ve ever faced a setback (and let’s be honest—we all have), this episode will remind you that resilience is not about perfection. It’s about showing up, growing, and finding the strength to keep going.00:11 Defining Resilience in Running01:10 Race Recap and Goal Setting03:54 Integrity and Accountability14:51 Resilience in Training19:34 Resilience in Races and Competitions21:31 Embracing Discomfort in Shorter Races23:35 Mental Toughness and Adaptability in Racing25:23 The Importance of Flexibility in Training Plans27:54 Building Resilience Through Adapting Workouts32:10 Reflecting on Wins and Learning Opportunities40:24 The Role of Recovery in Building Resilience41:16 Gratitude and Community Support in Resilience44:35 The Essence of ResilienceGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.
