This conversation delves into the complexities of athlete fatigue, recovery, and goal setting in running. Rochelle and Sarah discuss the importance of understanding normal fatigue versus serious fatigue, the significance of setting realistic and meaningful goals, and the necessity of listening to one's body to prevent injuries. They emphasize redefining success beyond personal bests and the importance of balancing ambition with enjoyment in running, especially as athletes age. The discussion also highlights the need for patience and adaptability in training, particularly when returning to running after a break or injury.
