MWM Episode 94 - The Weight of the Goal

Big goals are heavy.

In this Midweek Motivation episode, David Theriot shares what training for the Bigfoot 200 is really feeling like about 75 days out from race day. The miles are increasing, life is still moving fast, and the challenge is becoming more than just physical.

This episode is an honest look at balancing ultramarathon training with work, family, coaching, recovery, faith, and everyday responsibilities. David talks about squeezing runs into crowded schedules, getting miles in before sunrise during softball tournaments, and learning that discipline often matters more than motivation.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed chasing a big goal, this episode will remind you that growth often happens when life is heavy and you choose not to put the goal down.
