Episode 222 - Flash back to Alicia - in 2 years she lost 60 pounds and ran 2 marathons!

For the next few weeks I’ll be interspersing my new interviews with some of my favourite past episodes as I’m away from home and haven’t booked too many calls in :)
In this flash back with the amazing Alicia Gerbert from May 2022, all the way from Connecticut in the USA for a chat about her running journey. Sadly Alicia lost her younger sister a couple of years ago to cancer and this triggered her to start looking after herself more.  So she started running and within 2 years she’d lost 60 pounds and ran 2 marathons.  Alicia is loving her running and its become a big part of her identity - importantly it’s empowered her to take on other challenges in life.
