About this episode
We chat with ultra runner Kerri MacFarlane, who has transformed her life through running and recovery. Kerri has been in recovery for over three years and we talk about how community support has played a crucial role in her journey and why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We talk about Kerri’s journey through recovery and how she unlocked her deeper self-awareness through therapy, which helped her navigate both recovery and personal growth. We dive into how running became a transformative tool in Kerri’s life, leading to significant weight loss and personal achievements, including completing her first marathon despite major life challenges. She discusses how setting ambitious goals fueled her transformation and why daily practices are essential for maintaining recovery. We discuss Kerri’s transition to ultra training, embracing a new mindset, finding joy in the process and understanding the importance of self-care. She reflects on the mental and logistical aspects of race day, the role of consistency in staying injury-free, and how having a supportive coach boosted her confidence. Plus, Kerri takes us through the emotional and physical journey of running 100 miles—an experience filled with challenges, rewards, and an unforgettable finish-line moment. Her story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of non-negotiable goals in achieving long-term success. Huge thank you to Kerri for coming on the show!
