118: Don’t Quit on a Bad Day: A Marathon Journey Through Pain and Persistence w/ Cass Robinson
About this episode
Cass Robinson shares her journey of training for her first marathon while managing Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and emphasizes the importance of resilience and self-trust.
Cass Robinson’s path to her first marathon was anything but straightforward. Growing up with undiagnosed Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, she spent years dealing with injuries, pain, and being told nothing was wrong. Running came in waves throughout her life, but it eventually became the place where she could process everything she had been through and start taking back control. In this episode, she shares how she trained with an unpredictable body, what it looked like to run her first marathon without time goals, and how her second marathon forced her to adapt in real time. It’s a conversation about resilience, learning to trust yourself, and why you shouldn’t quit on a bad day.
