Coach and Marathoner Paddy Birch on the Value of the Off-Distance
Manage episode 352502986 series 2753099
We’re kicking off 2023 by revisiting one of our favourite episodes from 2020 with coach and marathoner Paddy Birch. Paddy is an Irish ex-pat who didn’t start running until he moved to Toronto a decade ago. But in that time he transformed himself from a mid-pack rec runner into an elite marathoner. During the pandemic, Paddy decided to mix things up and test himself over some shorter distances. As we start a new year, his experiences and words of advice seem particularly apt. Here is part of our conversation about the physical, psychological and emotional benefits of exploring new events.
