208: What's the Point?
Jul 15, 2021Ever get into a training rhythm that feels good but out of nowhere it just hits you - why am I doing this? The Olympic Trials got me thinking about putting in the work and not getting the outward-facing goal. There are lots of feel-good stories and interviews with athletes making the team, but what about the athlete that just misses? What about the athlete that finished last? Is it worth all of the work? Why do we do uncomfortable things?
