I started in trails. I 68 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 5: started with ultra running. That is where my true love 69 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 5: for competitive air quotes. 70 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: Running came from and. 71 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 5: It's where I truly understood community because I had my 72 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 5: girls in the UK and there was a group of 73 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 5: us and we do all these trail races together. We'd 74 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 5: had the same kit, we wouldn't necessarily finish together, we'd 75 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 5: always start together. And it was just how I fell 76 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 5: in love with what running meant to me as a person. 77 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 5: And I love the cake and cookies and food elements 78 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 5: to ultras. 79 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 4: Wait for those that don't understand, shed some light. 80 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 5: On ultras the cooking cookies or cooking some people do 81 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: actually cook meals. So in ultra running, unless you are 82 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 5: very very good and you are considered in an elite 83 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 5: ultra runner, ultra running, for the most part is about 84 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 5: completing the distance or time. So an ultrua is considered 85 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 5: anything over twenty six point two miles of traditional marathon distance. 86 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: And so that. 87 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 5: Means that when you have rest ups or crew areas 88 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 5: where your your friends of family could come and help 89 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 5: you get changed out of your wet, soggy, muddy clothing, 90 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 5: you sit on those genuinely cake and high calorific sugary 91 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 5: foods that people can enjoy and a hot cup of 92 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 5: tea and a chance to warm up around a gas 93 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 5: heater maybe, And it's just it's an adventure. 94 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: It's a true adventure. It's a true adventure. 95 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 3: You yourself have had such an interesting journey as an 96 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 3: athlete thus far, and it's far from over. But to 97 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: hear you talk about the distance versus the times, knowing 98 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: that you have been an Olympic Trials qualifier, right, you 99 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: have really no pun intended run the gamut, so to speak, 100 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: on this sport. For someone who hears this and aspires 101 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 3: to seek their own potential within running, what comes to 102 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: mind for then try everything? 103 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 5: And I don't mean you have to go and try 104 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 5: like a hundred kilometers versus a five k right now, 105 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 5: but try everything when it comes to distance sometime, because 106 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 5: you may be sitting here listening to this thinking, oh, gosh, I'm. 107 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 2: Not a runner, but i'd like to be. 108 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 5: And we have to start by just moving and maybe 109 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 5: that looks like walking for five minutes every day, and 110 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 5: then you may progress onto walking and jogging and then 111 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 5: jogging and running and then running or not you can 112 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 5: stay walking every day whatever. But I say that to 113 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 5: say you need to discover what type of runner you are, 114 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 5: and it can change with your chapters of life as well. 115 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 5: And I think that's really important because running is in 116 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 5: this massive boom and it has been for a few years. 117 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: And we just think about speed. 118 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 5: We think about like running and the fastest people come 119 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 5: to most people's minds, even if it is ultra distances. 120 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 5: You may think of that like the Jennifer Lickners the 121 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 5: of the world. You may think of Hans, you know, 122 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 5: like Hans Charloo's just crushed a black canyon. But actually, like, 123 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 5: it's not always about speed. It's about like discovering, Oh 124 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 5: maybe I'm not meant to be an injury it's runner 125 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 5: right now. 126 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm going to be really good at miles. 127 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 5: Maybe I'm going to be a fast track gally for 128 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 5: a minute, and then you can come back to those 129 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 5: longer distances. But explore it and find out what type 130 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 5: of runner suits you, because there are so many different 131 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 5: types within the running umbrella. 132 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, And what I'm hearing you say is that embrace 133 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: the joy of it all. 134 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, find out what pushes your buttons. 135 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 5: Come on, we've got to be turned on by what 136 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 5: we're doing in our spare time, Yeah, because otherwise, what's 137 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 5: the point. 138 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: What's the point. We jumped right into it? 139 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 3: Usually before I start asking all the things I like 140 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: to level set by asking how you're doing? 141 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: Really, how are you doing? 142 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing good. 143 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: I'm doing good. 144 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 5: I think I'm in that phase of what the actual 145 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 5: f am I doing when it comes to training and 146 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 5: realizing like, oh my gosh, I have a race really soon, 147 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 5: but having to remember to rephrase it in my mind 148 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 5: that a race to me personally, and this is just 149 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 5: my personal definition. 150 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: Erase means I'm competing and I'm not. So this is 151 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: just a run. 152 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: I have a run. 153 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just have a specific organized run event that 154 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: I am attending in a few weeks. 155 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: But there's no pressure on this one. 156 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: So I am literally and quite literally, will be getting 157 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 5: my feet wet. 158 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, quite literally, which comes with its own fair share 159 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 3: of challenges. Say lease, by adding in these longer endurance 160 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: events into your schedule, that training that you're speaking of 161 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 3: requires some real diligence, not only in its execution and 162 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: doing the actual training, but setting aside the time, which 163 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: brings about a very important question how do you do it? 164 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: And by it, I mean how do you make it 165 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 3: a priority? 166 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: Because that is something certainly that. 167 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of people that message you email 168 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 3: you come to the Peloton studio share is quite challenging. 169 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, everybody knows no matter what it is, 170 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 5: whatever you add on to your day to day routine 171 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 5: of things that are non negotiables, i e. Going to work, eating, drinking, sleeping, 172 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 5: all of the things that are what you have to 173 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 5: do in order to survive, make a pretty penny and 174 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 5: all of that thing. 175 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: Adding on extra stress is. 176 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 2: It's an honor to. 177 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 5: Be able to do that as well. But it's stressful, 178 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 5: it really is. It takes a lot of planning, so 179 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 5: it's scheduling. But also only it is for me understanding 180 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 5: that sometimes it actually isn't priority. Sometimes there are other 181 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 5: things that are a priority. And obviously that doesn't mean 182 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 5: it is low down. But if I have to flip 183 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 5: flop my training week around and my long run has 184 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 5: to be on a Wednesday instead of later on in 185 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 5: the week because I have work commitments all day on 186 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 5: a Saturday, which I do quite often, and then actually 187 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 5: after work, I don't. 188 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: Want to go for an eighteen mile run. 189 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 5: I want to go and see my family and relax 190 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 5: and switch off a little bit. I'll do that, and 191 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 5: I'll flip it around and I will just remember, like, 192 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 5: of course it's a high priority, but it's not the 193 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 5: highest priority. The health and happiness of my family and 194 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 5: myself is first, and then the running and getting it in. 195 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: I say that because. 196 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 2: I know I will always do it. 197 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 5: I am very disciplined when I am training, and I 198 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 5: will make it happen. I'm not somebody like you or I, 199 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 5: I think are in this same vein we both will 200 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 5: turn to the tread when it's treacherous outside. We are 201 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 5: neither of us a person who was like, look at 202 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 5: me on the coldest day, I just ever get in 203 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 5: my mouth in absolutely, yeah, because I want to keep running. 204 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: I'd like not to get frost by personally, yeah, it's 205 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 3: a pneumonia. 206 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 5: Or slip and not be able to run. So I 207 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 5: definitely like make sure I get it in. But I'm 208 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 5: not I'm not super like. 209 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: Stressy about it. 210 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 3: I want to talk about discipline because I think that 211 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: there is a big misconception that someone can just be disciplined. 212 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 3: Like someone might wake up one day and say I'm 213 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 3: just not a disciplined person, and the other person they 214 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 3: see going to the gym or maybe going for a 215 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: run or doing whatever it is movement wise that makes 216 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 3: them feel good, and they are like, well, they're just 217 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 3: more disciplined than me. That isn't how it works. Where 218 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,599 Speaker 3: does discipline in your case come from. 219 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 5: If I've said I'm going to do something, I'm going 220 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 5: to do it, and I'm going to try and do 221 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 5: it to the best of my ability within the timeframe 222 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 5: that I've had leading up to it. Yeah, because yeah, 223 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 5: you know, maybe I could have done this race better 224 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 5: if it was not at the end of March and 225 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 5: it was at the end of May. Probably would have 226 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 5: had way more beautiful days out that I could get 227 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 5: more miles outside and feel more compelled to wake up 228 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 5: when it's not dark or quite so dark in the morning. 229 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 5: But having said that, I'm going to be as disciplined 230 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 5: as I can in this training phase of my life 231 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 5: without making my whole life about this training phase. And 232 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 5: that to me is the discipline of like you said 233 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 5: you were going to do it, get it done, and 234 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 5: just get it done as well as you can. 235 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: Right now and move on. Like I've learned, I used. 236 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 5: To dwell on things of like, oh gosh, that point 237 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 5: two of a mile, that I didn't finish. Oh, I 238 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 5: need to jump on the train and get it done. 239 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: And I've learned to let that go. I've learned that 240 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 5: it doesn't make a difference. What makes a difference is 241 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 5: missing a week of training. Missing a day or two 242 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 5: of training doesn't make a difference. It's physiologically actually proven 243 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 5: that it's up here in your brains that we lose it. 244 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 2: Not our body, not our physiology. 245 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 5: It actually takes more like two to three weeks for 246 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 5: you to lose trained physiology. 247 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: You have to be trained. 248 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 5: This is all caveat too. You have to be a 249 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 5: pretty trained person. And I think I just have that 250 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 5: in my mind, is if I do have to miss 251 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 5: a couple of days I've been traveling, and you know, 252 00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 5: I don't get up and. 253 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: Run outs in the morning. I'm scared. 254 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 5: I'll just lay it out there. I have this fear 255 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 5: that something is going to happen to me on the 256 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 5: streets of New York. I rarely ride the subway. 257 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: I hate it. 258 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 5: I get very very nervous, and I don't think that 259 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 5: is good for me to put myself through that stress. 260 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 5: Some people can deal with it and that's great. Like 261 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 5: I have colleagues who ride the subway every day all day. 262 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: That's good for them. 263 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: I don't need to compare myself to them. 264 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 5: I know what it does to my heart rate and 265 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 5: my cords all levels, and I choose to spend my 266 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 5: hard and cash on a Nuba. 267 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 4: Yeah fine. 268 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 3: I love that you're meeting yourself with where you're at 269 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: when it comes to the discipline piece, because instead of 270 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: shutting yourself into doing something, getting to a place where 271 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: you can have that grace is so critical, and it 272 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 3: isn't easy for someone that's trying to adopt that same mindset, 273 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: that's trying to have a. 274 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 4: Little bit more grease with themselves. What do you tell them? 275 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 5: I say, force yourself to take two days off, and 276 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 5: I don't mean don't move. This is not me telling 277 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 5: you to sit and be a couch potato for two days. 278 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 5: Take two days off the thing that is stressing you 279 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 5: out about being disciplined over and just move through your 280 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 5: day with happiness and ease, and just go about the hours. 281 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 5: And if there is no pressure on you to get 282 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 5: something done, maybe it might just pop up in your 283 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 5: day where you're like, oh, oh my gosh, right, I've 284 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 5: got an hour. I'm gonna go for a fun run, 285 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 5: or I'm gonna hop to the gym, or I'm gonna 286 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 5: take a quick pilates class on my pelton app like 287 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 5: it just might happen naturally and then start feeling the 288 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 5: joy again. Or maybe you may have two days off 289 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 5: where you get a lot of other stuff done that 290 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 5: has been interrupting your discipline train to do that thing 291 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 5: called training, and you might need to just closet clear 292 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 5: up over those two days to free up the time 293 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 5: for that discipline to seep in for your training, and 294 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 5: that sometimes what I need to do. I sometimes wake 295 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 5: up and I'm like, all right, I've got this hour 296 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 5: run and I love to train in the morning. I 297 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 5: can't do it in the afternoon. I really like I 298 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 5: struggle to do afternoon training. 299 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: It sucks. 300 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 5: And so there are certain days where I wake up 301 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 5: and my brain just feels like I know, I need 302 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 5: to do this run, and I will do it, but 303 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 5: I have the laundry list of other things, like I 304 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 5: need to get my real ID done, I need to 305 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 5: file start finding my textes the way, I need to 306 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 5: clean the house.

And I'll 344 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 5: tell you what, it's a great It's a great moment 345 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 5: for me because I have an eighty minute training run 346 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 5: today and I get to do it in our audio 347 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 5: studio and inside and warm, and it's it's kind of 348 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 5: fits the bill because I'm actually training alongside people who 349 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 5: are also training alongside me. It's a really good like 350 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: role reversal duality thing going on. That to me makes 351 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 5: it quite genuine when I'm teaching and what I'm talking 352 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 5: about is, Hey, I'm actually feeling. 353 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: This with you. 354 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 5: I've just had a gel, I've just had a banana 355 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 5: or whatever it is going on. 356 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also really special because I think that what 357 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 3: people don't often realize is that yes, you are creating 358 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 3: a product and giving them something, but it's also in 359 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: return giving you some pretty special. 360 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it hugely is. 361 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: There's definitely days where I don't want to move, and 362 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 5: there's definitely days where if I wasn't teaching, I probably 363 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: wouldn't have run when I'm out of a training cycle, 364 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 5: for sure, and I think that's selfishly. In the last 365 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 5: six months of twenty twenty five, I had nothing on 366 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 5: my deck, and purposefully I didn't want to have anything 367 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 5: on I just wanted to fall back in love with running. 368 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 5: And I was still running five days a week, and 369 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 5: which is a lot. It's a huge amount of miles 370 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 5: and stress on the body. It's a lot more than 371 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 5: some people do even when they are training. But it's 372 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 5: because it was my job. But I love every second 373 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 5: of it because I still got to move and it 374 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 5: still got me into that like, hey, oh look, I 375 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 5: forgot my watch many of those runs, Emily, I forgot 376 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 5: my watch when I was teaching, and it was so 377 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 5: good to get into that rhythm of like, actually, it 378 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 5: doesn't matter because I don't have a coach who's waiting 379 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 5: to see what my performance levels are like today, and 380 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 5: I don't care. In many ways, today is just about 381 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 5: getting out for a run. So through different phases, yeah, 382 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 5: it does help me out. But when I am training, 383 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 5: I'm very very strict with myself to say these are 384 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 5: not my training miles. They're complimentary to my training miles. 385 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 5: Unless it's over an hour in the studio, then it 386 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 5: has to. 387 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: Be part of it. 388 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 3: This period where you had nothing specifically on the docket, 389 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 3: not training for anything in particular running for the joy 390 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: of it, what did that time period do for you? 391 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 3: What did that time period that you notice do for 392 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 3: your family? 393 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 4: What did that give you? 394 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 5: Well, you know, Austin and I very well personally, and 395 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 5: the two of us we flip year on year who 396 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 5: has the big thing to get done in their personal 397 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 5: side of things. So obviously twenty twenty four for me 398 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 5: was the Great World Race. 399 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: I took up the whole Yeah, sorry, Austin. 400 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 5: And twenty twenty five for him was completing his six stars, 401 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 5: and so he got that done. And that's not to 402 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 5: say I didn't do races like we traveled, you and I. 403 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 5: We went to other races and different parts of the country, 404 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 5: and I got them done, but I wasn't necessarily competing 405 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 5: and training my butt off. 406 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: So that was him. That was his time. 407 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 5: He was the one who was able to spend Saturdays 408 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 5: or Sundays or whenever he wanted, early morning, late night 409 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 5: getting his training done, sitting in the boots, and being 410 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 5: the one kind of more looked after in a weird way. 411 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 5: And so it just looks like last year was easy 412 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 5: for me to sit back in that respect, becaus I 413 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 5: said I really wanted to fall back in love with running. 414 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 2: I had this like mid year. 415 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 5: Like panic attack, almost like oh my gosh, I don't 416 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 5: love it right now. I had a race penciled in 417 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 5: in June, and I just feel like for months I 418 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 5: knew I didn't really want to do it. I was 419 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 5: forcing myself to do this marathon, and I kept trying 420 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 5: to like talk about it brightly, and I was going 421 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 5: to meet my girls there and we were gonna have 422 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 5: a really great time. And in the back of my mind, 423 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 5: you know, you know, in your gut where you're like, 424 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 5: I really don't want to do this, there was no 425 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 5: I didn't even speak to my coach about it. I 426 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 5: was like, Eh, yeah, I guess I'll just run and 427 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 5: think I know how to train for this, I don't 428 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 5: need you to worry about it. 429 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: And there was no passion. It was gone. 430 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 5: The fire was not out, but the fire was like 431 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 5: really low and I just kind of I had to 432 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 5: something came up, which was I think a divine intervention 433 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 5: from somewhere that said, actually, you're really needed to do 434 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 5: something a little bit more important on that day. So 435 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 5: I had to cancel out of that race. But yeah, 436 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 5: I was like, I was like, thank God. 437 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about that in the context of just 438 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 3: like general goal setting, because this is something that's super 439 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 3: relatable right that one moment, especially us right now in 440 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: the middle of February, people are reevaluating maybe some of 441 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: the things that they set out to do. 442 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 5: This springs right, spring races. 443 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: But even maybe if it's not movement oriented, right, it's 444 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 3: just things that you start and you might feel excited 445 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: at one point and then you realize along the journey 446 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 3: that it's just not resonating with you. 447 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 4: How do you find the grace of that. 448 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 2: Knowing that you have to put yourself first? 449 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 5: And again, yeah, whether it's fitness, professionalism, whatever goal it 450 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 5: was or is, if you are like burnout, doesn't come 451 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 5: from over training or over doing something. It comes from 452 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 5: trying to achieve something that you have no passion for, 453 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: something that is sapping your energy out of you without 454 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 5: you really even realizing, because you're constantly it's like trying 455 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 5: to climb up a slippery wall, like you may get there, 456 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 5: but Jesus, you're gonna be so exhausted and cut up 457 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 5: and bruised and defeated by the time you get to 458 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 5: the top. Or if you climb up and will with 459 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 5: some pegs in it, like you're gonna find this smooth 460 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 5: route up to the top, and you're gonna get there, 461 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: and you're gonna feel elated and proud when you. 462 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: Get to the top. 463 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 5: So I think it's sitting down with yourself and just 464 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 5: asking yourself these honest questions and having the strength to say, actually, 465 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 5: I need to scrap that. I know I said I 466 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 5: was gonna do it, and I know I said earlier. 467 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 5: I do things that I say I'm gonna do, I'm 468 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 5: gonna do it. Yeah. Ohso there are times where I'm like, yeah, 469 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 5: I said I was gonna do it, but it's not 470 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 5: healthy for me to do this right now. So it 471 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 5: doesn't mean I'm never gonna run a marathon again, but 472 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 5: it just means I'm gonna put it somewhere else. 473 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: How did that feel for you, considering that when you 474 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 3: share your goals, you're sharing them with quite a large community. 475 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 5: Honestly, because of what I was doing was an event 476 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 5: with Save the Children that was huge to me and 477 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 5: very very very important. I kind of felt like I 478 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 5: was showing the world a different priority of like, there's 479 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 5: going to be way more marathons, but this event was 480 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 5: something that had been dreamt up and it had to 481 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 5: be done then. It was very it was it was 482 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 5: on a specific date for a specific reason, and so 483 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 5: I just was I was showing different cards, I think, 484 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 5: And I still ran that day. 485 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: I just ran a mile, not a marathons. 486 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 487 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 3: And in general, when it comes to sharing things that 488 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 3: excite you, do you feel like sometimes you need to 489 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 3: be a little strategic in that. 490 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, hugely. 491 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 5: So you probably know this, but in in Psycho it 492 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 5: has been discussed a lot that when it comes to 493 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 5: goals and talking about our goals to people, humans get 494 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 5: a sense of having done it, like this sense of 495 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 5: achievement when we tell somebody and there's a. 496 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: Teeny tiny like neuropathway in our brains. 497 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 5: Like if I said to you, Emily, I'm I'm going 498 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 5: to climb Mount Everest and you're like, oh my gosh, 499 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 5: that's amazing, God, this is brilliant, and that joy and 500 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 5: that congratulatory response from you triggers a neuropathway in my 501 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 5: brain that is very similar to the dopamine you get 502 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 5: when you've actually achieved it, and it gives you that like. 503 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: Teeny percentage of Oh, you've done it. 504 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: You've done it. 505 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 5: And the more and more people you tell and they 506 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 5: give you that same response, it waters down and lessens 507 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 5: your want to feel that thing when you have actually 508 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 5: done it.

Again, 560 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 5: it's because there is that that relationship is not real. 561 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 5: It's through screens, be it social media screen or the 562 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 5: peloton screen. It's not a tangible, TecTile relationship that is 563 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 5: practiced day in day out based off of real. 564 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: True emotions. 565 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 5: It's like it's an it's a transactional relationship. 566 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't. 567 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 5: I don't need that drain I suppose on me. When 568 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 5: the older I'm getting, the more along in the twoth 569 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 5: I'm getting about all this training stuff. When I realize 570 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 5: how exhausting it is. I don't need that added drain. 571 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 5: So I've had to put up way more barriers to 572 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 5: keep myself grounded. And for home, I mean not sponsored, 573 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 5: but like I'm employing Brick. 574 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, we have one on the desks. 575 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, you have one because I just have to switch 576 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 5: off from it.

It's getting terrible traction. We're all blaming meta, 742 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 5: We're all blaming ig algorithms for this, and it's not 743 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 5: as far as I know, and for what I've listened 744 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 5: to many a pot and many a person a meta. 745 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 5: It's not actually something they are doing per se. It's 746 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 5: not like a little code that they're putting in. It's 747 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 5: just the way the world works. It's oversaturated with the 748 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 5: same stuff, so it's thinking outside of the box and 749 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 5: just trying to make things a bit different. 750 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 3: You listening to many podcasts is something that I love 751 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 3: about you.

When 753 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 3: you think about maybe some of the content that you've 754 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 3: consumed over the last year, what would you say has 755 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,280 Speaker 3: been some of the most resonant. 756 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I've been listening to a lot of 757 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 5: women's health podcasts, to be quite honest.
