HAVE YOU TRIED GETTING UNCOMFORTABLE LATELY?

Hello, hello!

A couple weeks ago, we talked on the podcast about when and how to lean into discomfort in workouts, and why that's important. Then, last weekend, I had a chance to test our theories IRL as my long run took a turn for the uncomfortable starting with torrential downpours followed by a cramping stomach and flat legs. Lucky for me, it's hard to quit when you've literally just posted about how important it is to embrace moments like this—and I know I'll face something similar in a race someday! Check out the whole story here + let us know how you've been leaning into discomfort in workouts!

As always, thanks for being part of our crew—hope you have an active, healthy week!!
