We have a special guest this week, coach Kristen Schindler! Not only has Kristen been a long-term coach at microcosm, helping scores of athletes accomplish their big dreams each week, Kristen is also an accomplished runner and no stranger to the podium.  On our call today, we dive into a life changing injury that Kristen sustained in 2022. That injury ended up being the impetus for deeper, inner change- and ultimately led Kristen to developing a healthy relationship with herself and running.  This call is full of important takeaways and tips for athletes who are going through injuries, or are in doubt that their best performances are ahead of them.
