from Grit And Grace · host Bethany Starks and Christy Dunton

Some races are just races. Others change you. In this episode, Christy and Bethany sit down fresh off Grandma's Marathon in Duluth to talk through the whole experience — the start line nerves, the miles that hurt more (and less) than expected, and what this race meant after everything it took to get back to the start line.They get into the training cycle that got them there, the role strength work played in race-day performance, and what "Build and Obey" looked like in the months of early mornings that led to this. Then it gets personal — the mental game, the moment they wanted to quit, and what doing hard things together has taught them about friendship.Plus, a Grit & Grace rapid fire round: best spectator sign, worst race-day decision, and the one word that sums up Grandma's Marathon.Whatever you're training for — a marathon or just your next hard thing — this one's for you.
