Setting Big Running Goals and Overcoming Mental Barriers

Setting big goals in running, even late 40s or 60s, is encouraged. Don't make assumptions about your potential, and don't fear failure. Taking risks, overcoming challenges, and embracing failure are vital for growth. Approach running injuries by staying rational, creating opportunities for learning, and accepting setbacks. Encouraging a 'no stone unturned' mindset, where athletes actively seek improvement and explore all avenues for growth, can lead to significant progress in running and other areas of life.
