I was introduced to Philip Godwin by Zach Smith, a former podcast guest who hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. Like Zach, Philip has found himself crossing the finish line of endurance events, doing several runs from 30 to 50 and even 100 miles at a time. In this conversation, however, before we dive into his path with running, we touch on the beginning of that journey. Dealing with obesity, a disabling injury, and tons of negative self-talk in highschool into college, Philip had to deal with some real personal challenges, mental and physical, before journeying into long-distance running. Likewise we talk about his first 100 mile run, which he used to raise nearly twenty-thousand dollars to start a fund in the name of a friend of his that passed away. If you feel like you’re in a rut, or even just moving a bit slower than normal, I think this conversation might help you turn that around. I loved hearing Philip’s take and I know you will too, enjoy.
