This episode is for everyone who has contemplated opting out of a workout, a training cycle, a race, or, heck, even a book club! The guests are Train Like a Mother Clubcoaches Jennifer Harrison and Liz Waterstraat. With host Sarah Bowen Shea, the coaching duo discusses:

-how to reframe your notions about quitting;

-weighing the risk versus reward of not continuing;

-the importance of learning how to suffer in order to improve;

-the logistics of dropping out of a race midway; and,

-being strategic, instead of reactive, in your decision to move on.

Before the coaches start doling out wisdom and advice around 8:17, Coach Liz shares her 8-year-old son’s goal list. (Awwww!) Later, Coach Jen details her on-going return from a debilitating injury.
