EP 751: "It IS Your Day" with The Queen, Meghan Canfield

Have you ever heard a runner drop out of a race and say, "It just wasn't my day"? Well, Meghan Canfield—known to the trail world as The Queen—has something to say about that. She argues, "Of course it's your day! It's certainly not anyone else's." In this episode, Meghan joins us to explore what that really means. Inspired by her recent article in UltraRunning Magazine titled "Adventure of Life," Meghan shares how every long run, race, or adventure mirrors the journey of life itself. Things rarely go exactly as planned—both on the trail and off it—but those unexpected detours aren't signs to quit. They're opportunities to adapt, learn, and keep moving forward. Meghan shows us how to: Reframe setbacks as chances for growth Trade frustration for curiosity when things go sideways. See each run—and each day—as an adventure full of surprises, struggles, and joy. She also opens up about the lessons she's learned from her own mistakes and offers practical tips to help you push through those tough miles—on the trail and in life. Every day brings a new story. Meghan Canfield is here to remind us to run it with purpose, curiosity, and heart. Find out more about Meghan and hire her or some of her friends as a coach at Zenith Coaches.
