We talk to Aisha Praught leer off of her recent Jamaican Indoor record in the 5000m. We caught up with Aisha as she’s coming off of a long journey with major knee surgery that happened the week of the Tokyo Olympics- she speaks on how she faced uncertainty and starting from zero with her fitness. She talks about some other exciting things she’s a part of off the track too like fundraising for the Sachs Foundation in a super cool High School mile PR meet and about her work as an Athlete representative for World Athletics.

“A mindset shift that helped me halfway through was to completely let go of the outcome. There were definitely times I felt sorry for myself ….. or times we’re dark or tough, and the uncertainty of everything is so heavy - I talked with Joe and decided……there is such beauty in the effort of diving fully into something and the not knowing . The not knowing (if it will workout) is fine- you don’t have to know . Whether or not you get to this beautiful end goal that you want, as long as you poured yourself in and tried your hardest -I knew in 20 years I could look back and be proud of myself.”

“There’s value in trying

There’s value in doing something there’s not sure you’ll get gratification from.

It’s going to be hard but you  can be proud of yourself regardless if you just give it everything “
-Aisha
