Navigating Moments of Quitting and Motivational Language

As a runner, Nicole Linn may consistently finish towards the back of the pack but as an influencer and entrepreneur, she is sprinting ahead of the rest. Two years ago, she chose to publicly document her marathon training and joke about how “slow” she was by advertising herself as a “below average runner!” By changing her approach and focusing more on the process rather than the ultimate outcome, she redefined her relationship with her sport and her definition of success.

Since that moment, she has created a community where people come together, support each other, experience the joy of running and accomplish something unique in completing an endurance event. Nicole teaches us that, “There will be so many days when we want to give up and quit but we need to remember why we started.” Instead of worrying or judging ourselves by how fast we get to the finish, we will be so much happier and healthier if we, “Embrace the Pace.”
