On this episode of the Run To The Top Podcast we are talking with Andrejs Birjukovs, a certified coach and multisport athlete whose latest book, “The Resilient Athlete”, ultimately argues that the true source of strength for any athlete who values performance and improvement isn’t talent, or commitment, or experience - it’s resilience.

Under the umbrella of this appreciation for resilient running, I ask Andrejs about:

how the hero’s journey applies to running
how you measure resilience in running
why it’s not possible to live long-term with a competitive mindset
how we can consistently hit flow states in running
what emotional fitness looks like
the 3 pillars for energy and vitality in running

And way more! Tune in for a fascinating conversation about the role that resilience plays in running.
