'Self Love before 60' and shares with us the lessons learned through her work and her running and how both were helpful in each area.

The conversation is a reflection on a lifetime of working and running life.... In particular wondering if there is such a thing as being overly determined and what the possible costs of this might be ? Whether the blinkering that comes with the relentless pursuit of goals can stop us from allowing for the unexpected and unimagined, the possibility even of winning! 
How goals or boundaries can be as experienced as pressurising and even limiting by closing our minds to a wider range of possibilities, and whether it is possible to adopt a more self nurturing mindset but still embrace the pain needed to succeed and win and how to achieve that balance.
