426: R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Find Out What It Means To Your Running
Manage episode 505662663 series 3503387
We’re kicking off a brand-new series on the podcast all about core values—the guiding principles that shape not just how we run, but how we live.
In this episode, we’re diving into respect:
- Respect for yourself, your training, and your recovery
- Respect for your teammates, competitors, and the sport itself
- Respect in how you handle challenges, setbacks, and successes
You’ll hear how we teach this value to our cross-country athletes, how it shows up in training and racing, and some personal stories from our own running journey—especially how we’ve had to adjust and lean into respect during emotional challenges lately.
Running is more than just workouts and finish lines. It’s about showing up with integrity and living your values every step of the way.
👉 Tune in, reflect on your own core values, and ask yourself: How am I practicing respect in my running and in my life?
