About this listen

In Episode 10 of At Your Own Pace, Mike sits down with Ana, one of the first Mexican women invited to run the Boston Marathon, who is a passionate runner and coach whose journey through the sport has been one of growth, belief, and transformation.

Ana shares how running became a space for self-discovery — from navigating new environments and unpredictable weather to facing the intense mental battles that come with marathon racing. She reflects on her first marathon experience, the emotions that come with pushing past limits, and the lessons that extend far beyond race day.

Together, we explore how running is as much about mental strength as physical endurance, why community support is essential, and how trusting yourself can change everything — both on the course and in life.

This episode is a reminder that progress matters more than perfection, belief is the first step toward achievement, and sometimes you don’t just show up to run — you show up to fly.
