Today one of the most vulnerable, challenging, and meaningful videos I’ve ever made... A deep dive into how you can experience breakthroughs in your running and life.

It’s how we respond to these situations that matters most. This episode has many visual examples that are better experienced while watching the video, vs listening to it. It could probabably still work as a podcast too. After about 27 minutes something unexpected happens on this run. You can either listen to it, or fast forward 6 minutes to 33 minutes, for a detailed summary and conclusions.
