Ginna Johnson - "Your mind is going to give up before your body does"
1/10/2024
In this episode, Allison Gaillard is in conversation with Ginna Johnson, a running enthusiast and a teacher.
They discuss experiences with different races, injuries, and the importance of mindset in overcoming challenges. Additionally, they bring up the importance of kindness, cheering other runners, support, and not comparing oneself to others.
Some of Ginna's personal anecdotes, triumphs as well as moments of struggle are explored. Her journey to becoming an 'Ultra-runner', her unique feat of having run a 50-mile race but not a marathon, and her experiences with Spartan obstacle races are discussed thoroughly.
The episode is not only about running, but also about personal growth, finding one's passion, and pushing one's limits.
