What Running 42km Can Teach You About Life - How Ordinary People Can Grow To Do Extraordinary Things

Описание: Most people say they’ll run a marathon. Very few actually do.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jason, who completed his first 42km marathon — and we unpack what it really takes.

Jason signed up with just 12 weeks’ notice. No elite background. No dramatic transformation story. Just commitment, consistency, and a willingness to endure discomfort.

We talk about:
Training while working full-time
Hitting the wall at 32km
Limping the final stretch
The psychology of endurance
Community, hydration, and resilience
What strength training taught him
How finishing changed his mindset
This isn’t about running.
It’s about grit.

Key Takeaways:
Big goals should feel slightly uncomfortable
Training compounds — physically and mentally
Strength training matters more than runners realise
Hydration and fuelling are non-negotiable
Community increases endurance and performance
Pain is often temporary — achievement is lasting
Momentum matters more than perfection
Resilience builds through action, not theory
Finishing changes how you see yourself
Discipline in one area spills into others
