Who decides if you’re a runner or not? The most incredible things Anna Liptak has experienced in 42 marathons (and counting)

from Life With Danni Duncan · host Danni Duncan

A few weeks ago, Chris and I announced that we’re running the New York Marathon… and it still feels slightly ridiculous to say out loud. Because if you had told me years ago that running would become such a big part of my life, I wouldn’t have believed you. And I know a lot of you listening probably feel the same. “I’m not a runner.” That’s exactly why I wanted to have this conversation. Today I’m joined by Anna from Adventure Time Travel, who has run more than 40 marathons all over the world and helped thousands of people cross finish lines they once thought were completely out of reach. If you’ve ever wondered whether running a marathon is something you could do, what it feels like to finish the New York Marathon and what kind of changes lie ahead for you… Then this is for you. Stick around to find out: > Why so many people tell themselves they’re “not a runner”… and what actually changes when that story shifts > What it feels like standing on the start line of a marathon for the first time > The moments during a race that stay with you long after you cross the finish line > What goes through your head when things get hard… and how people keep going > What Anna has seen in thousands of runners once they finally say yes to something that scares them > What she would say to you if you’ve ever thought about running a marathon… but haven’t signed up yet If you want to hear more from Anna, you can find her on IG @annaliptakruns or @hisandhertime.
