About this episode

Martha discusses the complexities of goal setting in running and how treating every goal as equally important can hinder performance.

Send us Fan Mail #398 - If everything matters then nothing happens.... we runners usually have more than one goal. But it doesn't help our running to try to achieve multiple goals. If we treat every goal as if it's the most important goal in the world, it can hurt rather than help our running. This week, I go over this simple, yet complex way of thought and how we can make it work for us!
