Ran the Berlin Marathon? Win or Learn
Description
Ran the Berlin Marathon on Sunday? The clock already gave you a verdict: 2:59 a win, 3:01 a fail. The best runners don't see it that way. It's win or learn, and it's always learn.
The courage to line up, the race-week mistakes worth owning, an athlete's email after the race of his life, and why my proudest races weren't my fastest.
Raced this autumn? Sit down this week and debrief it, whichever way it went.
