About this listen
Is training for a marathon harmful to the body? As a fitness coach and someone just days away from running my first marathon, I’ve asked myself this question—and in this episode, I unpack the answer. You’ll hear my honest take on running, injury, recovery, and mindset, including how a setback late in training challenged me physically and mentally.
🔑 What you’ll learn:
● Whether or not the body is "meant" to run long distances
● Why some people get injured and others don’t
● What physical factors influence running longevity (and what you can control)
● The importance of mindset and personal growth through training
● My reflections heading into my first marathon—despite hip pain
🎯 If you’re aiming to stretch your limits and rewrite your story, this one’s for you.
