S2E14. Why I'm glad I failed my marathon goal

I took on Paris Marathon last weekend with the goal of a sub-4 completion time. I missed out on that goal but this "failure" ended up teaching me the greatest lesson.


I hope you all enjoy hearing my recap of the race as well as some of my reflections on running, races and setting goals. Hopefully my experience can encourage you to take on a new perspective and be more gentle with yourself.


Love always,

Cass xx
