Summary
Pro Runner Neely Gracey, an eight-time collegiate national champion and three-time Olympic qualifier, had big plans for 2020. But COVID threw her—and us—a big bend in the road, and she’s actually grateful for the interruption.
Tune in to find out:
—The three ways she tracks her current fitness gains;
—What she learned from her series of recent virtual 5Ks;
—Why simple process goals (I will take 10 deep breaths today) are key to her positive mindset;
—How her dog, Sprinter, became a cover model for Runner’s World.
Here’s Neely’s post about setting annual goals, including her bullet journal printable.
