s4/e17 When Is It Time to STOP Chasing a Goal? with Claire Bartholic @theplantedrunner

We are often praised for the relentless pursuit of a goal, but what about when it's actually better for you to STOP chasing that goal? Coach and runner Claire Bartholic (@theplantedrunner) shares her own journey of what it cost her to finally achieve her coveted sub-3 marathon goal... and why she decided to step away from marathons altogether after crossing that finish line.

KEY TAKEAWAYS!

  • Chasing big running goals requires dedication, yes, but it's essential to assess whether the goal is realistic and sustainable in the long term
  • Finding balance and enjoyment in running is crucial for long-term fulfillment.
  • Retiring from a specific goal does not diminish a coach's ability to guide and support athletes.
  • It's okay to pivot and pursue different goals that align with personal values and bring joy.
  • Validation from achieving a goal should not be the sole motivation for running; intrinsic satisfaction and personal growth are equally important.
