I Finished The Marathon… But It Broke Me First | Marathon Journey Finale Ep. 20

This final episode closes the Marathon Journey series with the raw reality of race day: no sleep, injury fears, brutal cramping, blisters, walking through pain, and still crossing the finish line. More than a story about running, this is a reflection on gratitude, discipline, family, and the quiet power of finishing what you said you would start.Thank you for following the Marathon Journey series.Juan out.00:00 - Less Than 24 Hours To Go00:32 - Race Morning, No Sleep & Pre-Marathon Nerves02:36 - The Brisbane Marathon Is Done03:08 - Why This Journey Was Documented04:08 - Blisters, Injuries & Four Days Later04:32 - The Final Weeks Of Doubt05:26 - Deciding To Line Up Anyway06:03 - Race Day Begins07:09 - The First Half Felt Good07:28 - When The Marathon Turned Brutal08:29 - The Mental Battle Of Walking Through Pain09:13 - Would I Do Another Marathon?10:21 - Returning To Strength, Gym & New Goals10:43 - Why Running Still Matters11:56 - Family, Support & The Reason To Finish12:30 - The Final Lesson: You Get To Line Up13:08 - Closing The Marathon Journey Connect with Mere Mortals:https://community.stan.store/meremortals/Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/Rm9Nw8uVgHTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast
