This week’s guest is my friend Liubov Lomonosov (aka Luba)

Luba is this amazing and inspiring runner and coach who in just few years has achieved incredible goals, including qualifying for the Boston Marathon

She recently got a personal best at the marathon distance in Chicago last weekend. She ran it in 3hrs 4mins (10 minutes faster than her previous best time)

Luba doesn’t have a running background, actually she used to hate running not that long ago

But One day she decided to give this running thing another chance. She decided to follow a training plan with a very simple goal: completing a 40 minute run

After seeing success. She then decided to work towards bigger goals, like running a 5k, a 10k, a half marathon and of course, a full marathon

Luba has ran only a handful of marathons, but she is very goal driven and super disciplined.

And that discipline didn’t happen overnight. It took several years of trying different approaches and surrounding herself with the right people

One of my favorite things on this conversation is when she talks about the origins of her kickass hairstyle. Talk about what motivates you to make drastic changes in your life.

We also talk about what she does to work on her mental strength and who’s coaching her these days (a familiar name, you’ll see)

And trust me, she is just getting started
