It’s officially April, which means I am just weeks away from tackling one of the biggest challenges on my bucket list: the London Marathon. And let me tell you, this journey has been everything—grueling, exhilarating, humbling, and absolutely packed with lessons that apply far beyond running.

So, here’s the deal. I used to be a PE teacher, which means I love a good sports metaphor (get ready for plenty!). But more than that, training for this marathon has made me reflect on something huge: how eerily similar the road to running 26.2 miles is to building a business. The setbacks, the unexpected challenges, the absolute need to invest in yourself—it all translates. And trust me, some of these insights will hit you right between the eyes.

In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on what marathon training has really taught me about success. From pushing through freezing winter runs (hello, English weather!) to investing in the right support (yes, I spent £180 on trainers and no, I do not regret it), this journey has been a masterclass in resilience, commitment, and trusting the process. And guess what? The same principles apply to you and your business.

Whether you’re launching something new, scaling up, or just trying to figure out your next move—this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

[01:30 - 03:15] | Sports Metaphors & Life Lessons

• Former PE teacher, loves sports analogies.

• Sports and business have so much in common.

• Some lessons will be obvious, others surprising.

[03:15 - 05:00] | Training Struggles & Self-Discovery

• Winter training has been rough—cold weather, injuries, setbacks.

• But these challenges have revealed a lot about resilience.

• Pushing through struggles is part of the process.

[05:00 - 06:45] | The Activator Mindset

• Identifying as an "activator"—helping others take action.

• Realising the importance of activating myself first.

• Consumption vs. absorption of knowledge—are we really taking in what we learn?

[06:45 - 08:30] | Parallels Between Marathon Training & Business

• Success isn’t just about showing up on race day—it’s about preparation.

• Business is the same: strategy, execution, and persistence matter.

• Biggest personal & financial investments in 2025—business coach + marathon.

[08:30 - 10:15] | Investing in the Right Support

• Spent £180 on proper running shoes—ouch, but worth it!

• Cheap shortcuts can lead to setbacks (injuries in running, failure in business).

• The right investments make success sustainable.

[10:15 - 11:45] | Embracing the Process

• Growth feels uncomfortable, but it won’t always feel new.

• What once seemed overwhelming becomes second nature.

• Enjoy the journey, even the hard parts.
