Marathon Weekend can feel overwhelming-multiple races, early mornings, crowds, expectations, and a lot of pressure to push through no matter what.

In this episode, I walk through what Marathon Weekend actually looks like, what to expect logistically and emotionally, and where of a lot of unnecessary stress tends to creep in. We talk about how to simplify the weekend, what really matters, and how to give yourself permission to adjust your plans in real time.

I also share my personal plan for the weekend-including why I'm intentionally choosing to stop early, take care of my body, and feel proud of that decision. Finishing isn't the only measure of success, and honoring yourself counts just as much as crossing a finish line.

If you're heading into Marathon Weekend feeling excited and nervous, this episode is your reminder hat you get to define what a good race looks like.
