Just days before the Comrades Marathon, I received a phone call that completely caught me off guard. What started as a “concerned warning” quickly turned into a moment that challenged my confidence and forced me to reflect deeply.
Have you ever had someone question your journey… your discipline… or something you’ve worked so hard for?
In this episode, I unpack that experience and confront some of the most common myths about running - like “running ruins your knees” and “it makes you age faster.” More importantly, we explore how these myths can shape our mindset, limit our potential, and distract us from what truly matters.
This is not just about running - it’s about learning to think critically, trust evidence, and protect your passion from uninformed voices.
If you’ve ever doubted yourself because of what others say… this episode is for you.
Tune in, and remember: 
Respect the load. Respect recovery. And never let myths outrun your purpose.
