Cassia Clarke - #27 - The Jake Dearden Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Cassia, an ultra runner who completely transformed her life after discovering running during lockdown. From struggling with confidence and losing over 100 pounds, to running marathons and 100km ultras. We discuss the success, the deeper story with burnout, social media pressure, and the decision to walk away from it all for an entire year.00:00 – Intro04:30 – Lockdown, Rock Bottom & First Steps Into Running10:00 – Building Confidence & Running Her First 5K16:00 – Going Viral & Entering the Social Media World24:00 – First Marathon & The Leap Into Ultras32:00 – Ultra Running Stories, Community & Mindset44:00 – The Dark Side of Social Media & Mental Health Decline54:00 – Quitting Everything & Disappearing for a Year01:04:00 – Life Offline: Healing, Happiness & Perspective Shift01:14:00 – Returning to Socials & What Life Looks Like Now5% off 247 Represent - Use code: JAKE247https://uk.representclo.com/collectio...BPN supplements - 10% off, Use code: JAKE:https://www.bareperformancenutrition.comWhoop — 1 month free:https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/Jakedearden Hosted on Acast.
