Summary
In this episode of RunPod, Jenni is joined by Greg Pearson, an ex-professional footballer turned running coach who’s helping athletes around the world crush their running goals.
Greg’s journey from the football field to the world of endurance racing is nothing short of inspiring, having transformed himself from a marathon novice to a sub-3-hour marathoner and ultramarathon competitor. Now, he’s sharing his expertise through his coaching community, guiding runners of all levels to push their boundaries and experience that unforgettable finish-line feeling.
Greg understands the struggle of staying consistent and overcoming obstacles in training because he's been there himself. He believes that you don’t need to train six days a week to achieve amazing results—what you need is structure, consistency, and purpose. Whether you're aiming for your first 5k or an ultramarathon, Greg's purpose is to offer the strategies, support, and motivation you need to transform your running journey.
Tune in as Greg shares his love for running, and the great mindset it takes to conquer those "impossible" race goals.
