When dreams don't go as planned, do you give up—or keep running your race? In this episode, Russell Dinkins, Executive Director of Tracksmith, shares how track changed the trajectory of his life, opened doors to college, and taught him resilience, grit, discipline, and purpose on and off the track.

We talk about the dreams he had as a kid, the detours and doubts he faced after Princeton, and how his athletic journey has always run parallel to the ups and downs of life.
