In a sport that often glorifies pushing through the pain, could a softer approach be the secret to unlocking your true endurance potential?


In this episode of the Human Endurance Podcast, we sit down with Brian, a 2h44 marathoner and the founder of Great Day coaching. Brian challenges the "hustle harder" mentality and introduces his powerful philosophy: the "soft approach to hard goals." He shares how this framework—built on self-kindness, adaptability, and long-term thinking—can help athletes not only get faster but also build a more sustainable and joyful relationship with their sport.


From the single biggest mistake new marathoners make to the art of integrating high-volume training into a busy life, this conversation is a masterclass in building resilience, both on and off the road.
