In episode 115, I spoke with British athlete and LEJOG world record holder Carla Molinaro as she prepares for the 2022 Sevilla Marathon, as a qualification race for the Comrades Marathon.
Setbacks are part of life, in this conversation we explore three areas where she has “failed” forward and overcome different challenges to come out stronger. One of these “failures” was the springboard to earning a Gold Medal at Comrades Marathon finishing in 9th place.
The idea of these conversations is to show how other runners can reframe the word failure and relook at their own setbacks.
This is the full extended conversation where we dive a lot deeper into Carla’s running, which supports the short film on YouTube which provides extra content into the conversation. To watch the short film click this link:
