About this listen

In this episode of the Endure Edge Podcast, Jacques Wijtman sits down with Rachel “The Big Dog” Beaton to unpack the work, discipline, and mindset behind her rise in the running world. Known by many as a running influencer, Rachel breaks down what most people don’t see, the early mornings, the lonely miles, and the decision to train without a coach.

From her life before running, to conquering Comrades and earning back-to-back Bill Rowan finishes, this conversation dives deep into mental toughness, women’s mental health, and the power of community. Raw, honest, and unapologetic, this episode proves that grit beats talent when talent doesn’t show up.
