Reframing 'failure' in training and racing.
Listen now
Description
The ability to reframe failure is your ability to bounce back from a difficult or not planned for situation that could be deemed as a failure. Reframing means to look at something in a different way. Now I’m not talking about seeing failure as a success per se, this is not about ‘participation medals’ and ‘everyone’s a winner’ mentality. I’m talking about looking for the positives in a situation that you initially feel is a failure. Examples would be: not hitting your time or pace target in a race or training run, getting injured, not getting into the race you had your heart set on. To be honest the list is potentially endless and I have experienced them all. The thing to remember is these feelings don’t last forever and you can come back from this and become a better runner and perhaps person in the process.
