About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with John Ferry—co-founder and head coach of Team Wilpers and head coach of the Dashing Whippets—to talk about the evolution of a runner, the mental side of training, and why running should serve you, not stress you out.

We explore how goals change over time, why comparing yourself to your past self can hold you back, and the real reason so many runners repeat the injury-recovery cycle (spoiler: it’s all of us 😅).

Plus, John shares his unlikely path from Broadway stage manager to full-time run coach and the powerful lessons he's learned along the way.

Whether you’re just getting started, feeling stuck, or finding your way back to the sport—this one’s packed with perspective.
