In this episode of the Resilient By Choice Podcast, I reflect on my experience running the Boston Marathon, one of the most iconic races in the world and the first World Marathon Major of my journey.
I talk about the build-up to race day, the atmosphere around the city, the Boston 5K, the marathon expo, race morning logistics, and what it felt like to finally stand on the start line of a race I had heard about for years.
Beyond the race itself, I explore the lessons Boston taught me about appreciation, perspective, and the importance of enjoying the journey rather than becoming completely focused on performance.
I also share some of the differences between Boston and European marathons, the incredible crowd support, and why this race felt like so much more than just another marathon.
Whether you're a runner, endurance athlete, or simply someone chasing a goal that matters to you, I hope you'll find something useful in this conversation.
