Best Quotes
01:40 - 01:50
• "All You Need is Rhythm and Grit is because I honestly do believe that that is all you need to be a good runner and also like, good at life."
03:26 - 03:50
• "It's not about, okay, I'm going for this incredibly fast time, or I'm going for this specific race. Of course, all of those things are amazing, but the true beauty for me lies when you just release yourself from all of those things and just use running as, see, it's weird for me to say an escape because running isn't actually an escape for me."
04:17 - 04:25
• "What's interesting is the more we focus on
the result, the less we enjoy the ride Yes. The more we focus on
the process."
09:13 - 09:30
• "When you dig into to people's reasoning, a lot of the time it's, it's like their own belief in themselves. And when you sort of put your arm around them and say like, like, I believe in you, or this person believes in you, or that person believes in you, that also really, really helps to get people out the door."
09:54 - 10:13
• "This def definition that you've, you've created to define yourself in this box. When you break free from that and you realize how, how you can press past the boundary or pass the goal, you see that there's so much more to enjoy in that, in that run or that new experience or whatever it may be."
11:39 - 11:47
• "The moment I sort of opened up about my journey, people were far more welcoming. People were far nicer."
13:39 - 13:49
• "So when I first started running, it was probably around 2006 or 2007, and I had just gone to watch the London Marathon."
