Join some of the biggest names in running--Meb Keflezighi, Emily Sisson, Emma Bates, and Tommie Runz--for a motivating discussion on how to reach your goals. Hosted by Carrie Tollefson and Angie Spencer, and presented by UCAN.
"One thing that really stood out to me early was someone said, "Be where your feet are." If it's hard to think, like one moment at a time, be exactly where your feet are. Be there. When you put your phone down, stop scrolling IG, and you sit with your family and watch the movie...literally be there. If you can do that, I feel like we'll all be happier." --Tommie Runz
