About this episode
This week, Andy, Sarah, and Rick explore how comparing yourself to others can shape and sometimes sabotage your performance. Andy reflects on how comparison impacted his Olympic career, Rick opens up about measuring himself against his pre-injury form, and Sarah shares how others have inspired her to improve. Together, they discuss whether comparison can ever be useful in running and offer advice on building a healthier mindset toward it.
