In this podcast, I reflect on my sub 3-hour marathon. This was the first marathon I trained for so there were a lot of takeaways for the things I did well and things I'll look to improve on.

I invited my coach, David Thomas, onto the podcast where we broke down my training, nutrition, and mindset for the 16-week training block, leading up to the last steps I took on mile 26.2.

There is no right or wrong way to do things. Only individual imbalances.

This is a concept from a the dark and light side frame work that I apply to Elemental Coaching Project. Every individual needs to find their own balance within themselves. 

To listen to blanket advice from others ignores your unique location on your spectrum.

Some people need to slow down more and some people need to push harder.

We want to create a balanced a rhythmic eco-system within ourselves so that we can grow and evolve.

The same way a pyramid must grow laterally and vertically to be both tall and with a solid foundation.

In short, Rob is a savage. I had him on as a guest to share his journey as an athlete. Rob played D1 football and then fell into a pit of alcohol and depression. It wasn't until he found himself on balcony, ready to jump, that he ignited his life into a powerful and inspiring story. Now over a year sober, Rob has had the opportunity to train with David Goggins and he has transformed into an endurance athlete competing in 50k and IronMan races.

I'm excited to welcome Dr. Josie Nicholson from the Ole Miss Athletic Health & Performance Staff. She is a licensed psychologist and certified mental performance consultant for the university. Josie talks about the work she does with athletes to help them perform better and manage their mental health. She talks about her background in hypnosis and why it's not as weird (it's actually really useful) as you remember. We discuss the transition that athlete's face in their identity as they shift out of college athletics. Lastly, she shares why the word '"yet" can transform any sentence and instill a growth mindset.

She is also the host of the Unit3d Podcast, which is a podcast put on by Hilinski's Hope.
