Comrades Marathon: How to Focus on the Process with Dejan Popovic


Listen Later

The Comrades Marathon is an ultramarathon of about 55 miles which takes place in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. When striving to run an ultramarathon (or any distance, for that matter!), it's easy to focus on the result instead of the process.

My guest on this podcast is on a mission to help you live a vibrant life that's authentically yours.

Dejan Popovic is a long-time endurance athlete, certified health coach and travel enthusiast. He's participated in numerous marathons, triathlons, ultra-marathons, and random adventures throughout his life.

In this episode, Dejan and I chat about his first experience running The Comrades Marathon in South Africa!

More than that, Dejan is sharing how to focus on the process and enjoying moments along the way, including:

  • How to enjoy the process and let go of the result
  • Ways to quiet the inner critic
  • Why simplicity is sophistication (and how to find it)
  • Tips on a few grounding practices
  • An interesting twist on how to achieve your goals
