it's realizing when you can sort of be bigger than your expectation, sort of remove your

negative thoughts and shake it up a little and maybe stay out there longer than you thought that you

could. Hey everyone, Emily Abadi here. You are listening to another episode as a part of Run Week

here on hurdle. Now if you're just catching up after the long weekend this week in celebration

of global running day on Wednesday, June 2nd, I am bringing five back-to-back episodes dedicated

to the sport that changed my life. As you may know, I'm a U-E-S-C-A certified run coach. I've also

a nine-time marathoner, one who went through a long period of her life thinking that running just

wasn't for her. I'm going to give you my whole backstory and talk about my journey with running

this week on Wednesday. But first, today I've got a conversation with Aisha Proutnir. She's a

professional middle-distance runner for Puma, a world finalist and Olympian and seriously one of

the kindest, most down-to-earth interviews. Now you've heard from her on the show before I'm

going to link that episode in the show notes, but today we are talking about a very important

the sucky run. We have all had them some days. We get through them victoriously and it feels like

you need a movie soundtrack. In other days, you just got to call it. And today with Aisha,

we talk about how to navigate all the scenarios. She offers up a lot of really helpful tricks to

get through the days that you actually can power through. You just need a little bit of a pep talk

to do so. We chat about the importance of separating back from feeling something that really

helped me in Sunday nights or to street runners race here in New York. And I'm gonna tell you,

Aisha is the perfect person to talk about this because not only does she do a lot of running so

much so that she gets a day off once every 90 days. Reach out about that. But because she's done

extensive work on this very subject. Super grateful for her time and her outlook today and really

excited to bring this episode to a permanent home on the feed. I want to say thank you to all
