#136 Mindset Lab - Why You Keep Failing At The Same Thing, Even After You Fix It

SEP 25, 202610 MIN

Description

I trained for a year to fix one specific problem. Then I raced again and got almost the exact same result, down to the number. I had a legitimate injury both times. A hernia I was either dealing with or still recovering from. I could've blamed that and moved on. Most people would have. I didn't. What I found underneath it changed how I train, and honestly, how I think about any hard goal I'm actually trying to rebuild from scratch. Stay till the end. I break down three lessons from this, not just for training, but for anything you're starting over on.
