When Slowing Down Wins
Four months can change everything. In this Fireside Chat, I reconnect with Jeffrey Weiss expecting the usual endurance athlete check-in—miles, races, what’s next. What we actually unpack is far more useful: how injury, recovery, and creativity can reshape the way we train, work, and live.
Shortly after our last conversation, Jeffrey got injured. Instead of pushing through, he slowed down and found clarity. We talk about turning recovery into the work, why yoga and core strength stopped being optional, and how the “greatest ability is availability” mindset can save your season (and your sanity).
We also cover the overlap between running and entrepreneurship: patience, consistency, and building something sustainable instead of chasing quick wins.
We dive into Jeffrey’s writing life, including lessons from Racing Against Time and his next creative chapter focused on fitness and curiosity in his 60s. Along the way, we cover race fuel quirks, writing rituals, and the power of saying no to the “nice-to-dos” so you can protect your real priorities.
Sometimes the most important progress happens when you slow down and choose what actually matters.
