Christi Dee transforms from a child who feared the school mile run into an accomplished ultra-marathoner and certified running coach, showing how one defining moment at a finish line can change life's trajectory.

• From dreading PE class mile tests to completing 43 marathons and 17 ultras
• Started running through "peer pressure" from friends training for a half marathon
• Finding motivation through community and connection with fellow runners
• Prioritising discipline over motivation with 3:30am training sessions
• Navigating safety concerns as a woman running alone in early morning hours
• Adapting training methods with age - incorporating strength training and nutrition focus
• Shifting from corporate life to professional running coaching with RRCA certification
• Collaborating rather than competing with fellow coaches in the running community
• Building a business to share running knowledge and joy with beginners
