In this episode we talk about:
- When to consider a DNF

- How to get back to the finish or back home if you DNF
- Adjusting your running goals after a DNF
- Overcoming mental challenges like anxiety and disappointment when a run doesn’t go as planned

After months of training you may understandably feel disappointed or frustrated with a DNF.
We’re here to tell you that embracing and maybe even planning for the possibility of a DNF will help you to come back stronger. Listen to the show to find out how.
