You’re mid-race.
Things were going well.
And then suddenly… they’re not.

Your pace falls apart.
Your breathing feels off.
Your legs feel heavy.
And your brain starts spiraling.

So what do you actually do when you blow up mid-race?

In this episode, we break down:
• Why most race implosions happen
• The biggest mistake runners make when pace slips
• How to reset physically and mentally
• When to fight and when to pull back
• How to turn a bad race into valuable data

Every serious runner has a blow-up story. The difference between fragile runners and durable ones? Durable runners adapt.
