Marathon State of Mind

Genevieve Gregson on Bouncing Back from Olympic Heartbreak


Listen Later

In this episode we are joined by our first repeat guest, Genevieve Gregson. 2021 was a tumultuous year for Gen, rupturing her Achilles on the final water jump in the Tokyo Olympic Steeplechase final. The vision of her laying face down on the track was one of those moments of devastation that becomes etched into memory. But there is a reason that Genevieve is known as "The Comeback Queen". Her approach to this latest challenge is truly inspiring.

Themes discussed include:

  • Gen's experience of the Tokyo Olympics.
  • How Gen has grown through adversity and utilised her mindset to bring joy to the process. 
  • How to adapt when you can't do what you love.
  • Her pregnancy news :)
  • Why her and husband, Ryan (Olympic 1500m finalist) have set up Gregson Running, an exclusive online running coaching business for all runners.
  • How Gen has changed her definition of success in the last 6-months.
  • What realistic optimism is.
