143. The LA Marathon : The Greatest Physical + Mental Challenge of My Life

Running the LA marathon was the biggest physical & mental challenge of my life. 26.2 miles of non-stop running for 3 hours & 48 minutes, that breaks down to an average pace of 8:42 per mile & 3,923 calories burned. It was months of training and hundreds of hours out on the open road by myself to prepare but so worth it in the end!

Today we’re going to dive into the entire experience : how I could barely run a mile when the pandemic hit, training for it, how the day went of the marathon and some of the biggest takeaways I had from it. Let me be clear : you do NOT need to be training for a marathon for this episode to resonate with you. If you’re someone working towards a goal, then I hope this podcast pours gasoline onto the fire. Let’s fire it UP!
