Run Your Own Race: Life and Career Lessons from Marathon Running

from Liz Career Coaching · host Liz Herrera

In this episode, I’m sharing reflections from completing my 12th marathon and how the lessons I’ve learned on the road mirror the journey of building a meaningful career. From stepping out of my comfort zone to learning adaptability, listening to myself, and trusting my experience through self-doubt, I’ve realized that running has taught me just as much about life and work as it has about endurance.Whether you’re training for a marathon, navigating a career transition, or simply figuring out what’s next, I hope this episode reminds you that growth takes time,  and to always embrace every version of ourselves. You already have what it takes, it’s just about trusting the process, one step, one mile, and one lesson at a time.Connect with me!LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizherrera1/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lizcareercoaching/Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizcareercoaching/Email: [email protected] Best Career Coach Podcasts100 Best Coaching PodcastsMusic: https://www.purple-planet.comSound from Zapsplat.comArtwork: Joseph Valenzuela DesignSupport the show
