About this episode
In today’s quick-hit episode, we’re talking about what it really means to be in the driver’s seat on your journey to your first 50K finish.
No one is going to hand you a 50K finish line—you have to go out and make it happen.
If you're serious about this goal, it’s time to shift from being passive to proactive. That means looking for opportunities to train, learn, connect with others, and build momentum. Whether it’s joining a run group, hiring a coach, or simply showing up and doing the work—you need to be the one behind the wheel.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why waiting for the “right time” doesn’t work
- The mindset shift that makes all the difference
- How to stay motivated when the finish line feels far away
- What to do when fear and self-doubt creep in
Remember: you don’t have to know everything or do this alone. But you do have to take the first step.
