We all know that growth happens outside the comfort zone or that the "magic" happens outside the comfort zone. And we athletes might feel like we have succeeded in pushing ourselves past the comfort zone in our workouts and our races.  But we are here to challenge that notion.  How do you know when you are in the comfort zone?  What are the signs?  Even if we push ourselves in training, does that really mean we are out of our comfort  zone? And how do fear and vulnerability play a role? We challenge you in this episode to really think about if you are stepping outside your circle of comfort.  Have a listen!
