In this episode of the RMR Training Podcast, Rich sits down with Meg Jacoby to talk through the injury that’s forcing her to step away from competition for now. Meg opens up about her meniscus tear, the hard decision to pull out, and what it looks like to handle setbacks without letting them define you.

The conversation goes deep into grief, resilience, adapting training, and learning how to focus on what you can do when things don’t go according to plan. This one is honest, practical, and really valuable for any athlete dealing with frustration, injury, or a season that suddenly changes.


8:16 – Meg explains her knee injury, how it happened, and why she had to make the call to step away from racing
12:19 – The moment she realizes lining up in Poland could do more damage than good
17:29 – Managing expectations, staying neutral, and not letting hope turn into emotional whiplash
24:17 – How Meg kept training hard by adapting instead of shutting everything down
29:02 – Why she’s removed the timeline and is focusing on healing, smart rehab, and the long game
