The Run Smarter Podcast

On the back of my 4-day Unleash the Power Within seminar I decided to share my experiences & what you can take-away to become a better runner. Part 2 focuses on fulfillment. Make the decision to live a beautiful life, not just one of achievement. We runners are tough on ourselves. We work hard to achieve our running goals, striving and grinding a long the way, but the celebration is fleeting. Instead, we need to love the process and embrace every struggle along the way because 'Success without fulfillment is failure'.Become a Patron!
