Beatie Deutsch is an ultra-Orthodox marathon runner and elite athlete representing Israel — someone who has crossed finish lines most of us can’t imagine, and pushed herself far beyond what’s expected or conventional.

In this episode of The Dayna Show, I sit down with Beatie Deutsch for a conversation that goes far beyond athletic performance. Yes, we talk about elite sport, discipline, and what it takes to compete — and win — at the highest levels. But this episode is really about values, identity, and purpose.

We speak openly about Beatie’s faith in God, how her relationship with faith has evolved throughout her athletic journey, and the role belief plays when the physical and mental demands become overwhelming. She shares what it truly means to represent Israel on the global stage — not just as an athlete, but as someone carrying responsibility, pride, and meaning.

We also talk about how sport unexpectedly turned her into an advocate for Israel — how running, competition, and visibility gave her a voice, and how she chooses to use it with integrity and courage.

This conversation is about more than running.

It’s about values and priorities.

Faith and resilience.

And choosing excellence without compromising who you are or what you stand for.
