Friday Share: Getting over a bad race
Hi friends! I wanted to share an article I found very helpful to read while I’ve been processing my feelings over my DNF at Royal Victoria Marathon. It’s written and researched by Coach Nick Klastava. I hope it might be of benefit to anyone else recovering from a race that didn’t go the way you hoped it would 💙https://www.runningexplained.com/post/missed-marathon-goal-time

This is a wonderful share!! I know several of us have had what we felt were disappointing results during races this year, and I know personally, it took me quite a bit of time to shake mine off (honestly about 95% moved on from it, even this long afterwards). This article is a great way to help us heal from that and continue doing what we love!

@Caitlin Palmieri Jackson being able to adapt to race day challenges can be tough, but you rolled with the punches! The important thing is you finished it and had a great experience! And now you are a marathoner!!! 🥳
Calendar Updates!
Hey everyone! So we have an awesome calendar tab where we can see everyone’s upcoming races, but I want to make sure we have everyone on there since it’s been a bit since the last update. Please share below what upcoming races you have so we can add you to the calendar and make sure to cheer you on!!
