In this episode of Human Being School, Forest Robinson and I reflect on our Melbourne Marathon experience, focusing on how things didn’t always go according to plan. From the start of the race to crossing the finish line, we discuss how our expectations met reality, the surprises that challenged us, and the adjustments we had to make along the way.
We break down the race section by section, sharing the moments when our strategies fell apart and what we learned from those unexpected twists. Whether it was pacing errors, nutrition mishaps, or simply underestimating the demands of certain parts of the course, each mistake became an opportunity to grow. Through it all, we discovered that resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace discomfort were key to pushing forward when plans went off track.
In our post-race reflections, we explore how these lessons apply beyond running. Life, like a marathon, rarely goes exactly as planned, but the ability to adjust and keep moving is where true growth happens. This episode is a deep dive into what happens when things don't go as expected—and how to learn from those moments.
If you’re a runner, or someone who’s ever had to navigate life’s unexpected detours, this episode will resonate with you. Join us as we share the lessons the marathon taught us about adapting, enduring, and moving forward when things don’t go according to plan.
