Medal Monday
Karen, Endurance Squad, gave us one of those race recaps that reminds us why we do this work. Her mantra going into the race was simple: “I am positive and grateful.” The weekend gave her plenty of opportunities to take the exit ramp. Travel didn’t go as planned, there was no cell service to access her usual YT meditations, her goggles were unusable, and she ended up swimming without them.
Then, running into T1, her leg cramped, she slipped on the wet grass and took a hard fall on the concrete. For a moment, DNF looked like a pretty reasonable option.
Instead, she told herself, “Get to the start line of the bike.” And she did. From there, it was “long, strong, calm” and “be here now.” One pedal stroke, one moment, one step at a time.
She crossed the finish line crying. That’s more than finishing a race. It’s training the mind to meet the moment you’re actually in, not the one you thought you were going to have.
Amy is an Endurance Squad member and 1:1 mindset coaching client, and she has shown up for the work. She’s taken advantage of so much of what Endurance Squad offers — the training, the community, the coaching and the mindset practices — and she’s been incredibly consistent in putting that work into action.
So when she shared this after her 10K in Portland: “This was the best I have ever felt mentally going into a race. Zero regret or dread.”
That is a big deal.
Because the work isn’t just about getting stronger physically. It’s about changing your relationship with the experience — noticing the old patterns, creating space, and learning that you can meet race day differently.
Zero regret. Zero dread. That’s a race-day win before the race even starts.
We’re so proud of you, Amy.
And Brendan, working with BJ through 1:1 Coaching, set a new 10K PB at the Ocean Road 10K, running 42:18 at 6:49/mile. He paced it beautifully with focus, patience and a calm mind. The work started on the meditation cushion, banking a 60-day meditation streak that is obviously reaping rewards.
