What happens when someone who swore they’d never run signs up—and actually pays—for a 5km Color Run? In this episode, we peel back the layers on a vibrant, powder-covered journey from four weeks of grinding training to crossing the finish line with a medal and a mindset reset.
Expect laughter, honesty, and a few “I nearly died on that uphill” confessions as the hosts unpack the reality of preparing for a race when you’d rather be doing literally anything else.
From unexpected aches (thanks, hard surfaces 😑) to navigating South Africa’s strict safety requirements for outdoor exercise, this conversation reveals how motivation, consistency, and controlled environments shaped the entire journey. You’ll hear how one simple act—paying the entry fee—became the psychological switch that killed procrastination and created unstoppable momentum.
By the time the finish-line medal makes its appearance, you’ll feel the surge of pride, health, happiness, and the irresistible spark that says, “Maybe I could do this too…” The transformation is real, relatable, and ridiculously inspiring.
Don’t miss the moment when the runner—still buzzing from the win—commits to the next big challenge: a 10km race. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start your own training journey… this episode is your sign.
