In this episode, I am chatting with Beth Probst. Beth is a plus-size, mediocre runner who started running after a few too many mojitos and declaring to her friend's she was training for a half-marathon (she was not). A few months later she crossed the finish line. After a decade of racing, she published her first book: It Could Be Worse: A girlfriend's guide for runners who detest running. In addition to tactical running tips for plus-size runners, this is a story about an ordinary gal redefining what success looks like - and the power of showing up for yourself.
In this episode, we’ll chat about:
- Changing our relationship with challenging things and discomfort
- The identity of being a runner
- Defining what success looks like for yourself and how “right” can look like many different things
- The relationship with your body and how there is no arrival, it’s a lifelong journey
- Doing something messy and imperfect is better than not trying in the first place
- The power of publicly declaring your intentions to be held accountable and then showing up and making it happen
- Reflecting back each day and being aware if you’ve moved one step closer to who you want to be
- Learning to flex our “no muscle” and turning your default answer to “no” instead of “yes”
