🌴104. Run with the run

This episode isn’t just about running — it’s about mindset.I laced up, hit play on a 60-minute guided run from the Nike Run Club app, and suddenly found myself running (well, metaphorically) alongside Eliud Kipchoge — two-time Olympic marathon champion, former world record holder, and one of the greatest distance runners of all time.Kipchoge is calm. Measured. Soft-spoken. But every word he says? Hits hard. EIn this ep, I reflect on what I took away from the run, including:🧠 Why Kipchoge believes “the most important movement happens in the mind”🏃‍♀️ Why he says “run with the run” instead of resisting discomfort🛏️ The truth about his struggle with the cosy warm bed (yep, even him!)💬 My own marathon story and how Petra helped me break through at the 40km mark🛠️ The discipline = freedom insight that punched me in the face a littleYou'll also hear some wild stats:Kipchoge ran the Berlin Marathon in 2:01:09 — that's an average pace of 2:52 per kilometreHis 5km PB? 12:46. That’s faster than most people can cycle.And yet, he couldn’t qualify for Kenya in the 5km earlier in his career. Imagine if he gave up then? That pivot to marathons changed everything.I also explore how all of this links to our lives beyond running — showing up, discipline, resistance, and those areas where we say we want to improve, but don’t follow through.🎧 Listen if you:Need motivation to start or restart your running habitAre training for something big (or just want to move more)Want a mindset reset through the voice of a marathon sagePre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
