78. Emma Spencer: Growth through challenges and competition
This episode is with Emma Spencer, a runner and software engineer who lives in Durham, North Carolina.
This episode was recorded on May 29th, the fourth day of protesting in Minneapolis after George Floyd’s violent murder. Normally “just” a running podcast, we dove into this right off the bat.
In this episode we also talked about:
How she got into running
Her prioritizing rest/recovery and how that has helped her over the years
The parts of running that give her value, and what that value is
Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation
Challenges with moving
Competition, comparison and validation
North Carolina brewery scene
Her least favorite style of workout
The 2020 Olympic Trials
Training in 2020
and much more!
