You crossed the finish line of your goal race!... Now what?
In this episode, I’m walking you through what to do in the days and weeks after your big race. From celebrating your accomplishment (even if things didn’t go to plan) to refueling, reflecting, and deciding what’s next, I’ll help you recover mentally and physically so you can come back stronger for your next goal.
We’ll cover:
✅ Why celebrating matters — even after a “bad” race
✅ The 48-hour rule for processing post-race emotions
✅ How to do a meaningful race debrief (and what questions to ask)
✅ Why you shouldn’t rush to sign up for your next marathon
✅ How to think long-term about your running goals
Whether you crushed your PR or hit a wall, this episode will help you reset, learn, and plan your comeback the smart way.
