When goals don't pan out - experiencing 'failure' with Vlad Shatrov & Benn Couborough
Manage episode 281967410 series 2461601
How often do we set out to achieve something that pushes us beyond our limits - and even more so, how often do we put off doing something at the risk of 'failure'?
For Benn & Vlad, their passion and obsession is in ultra running. So when goal races got pushed aside during 2020 and the impacts of Covid, they shifted their attendtion to personal events that both stretched beyond their known limits. Benn set out to complete the Great North Walk of 276km in the fastest known time; while Vlad entered the 240km Coast2Kosci not just to complete or win, but for the fastest known time.
However, for both, things didn't go to plan. So what happens when our big goals don't end in success and celebration? What happens when we push beyond our limits and fall short? Here you get the opportunity to sit in on the stories that so often get untold, and we are so grateful to Benn and Vlad for being so brave in sharing their vulnerabilities in this episode.
Enjoy!
