ARC: Episode 64 - Charlie Spedding - From Last to First
Manage episode 321977209 series 3244025
On this episode, Tomi speaks with a Great British legend Charlie Spedding!
Today, Charlie walks us through his career as an athlete, all the way through to his career post-running.
We talk about what got him started, his good races, his bad races and his best race ever! We talk about winning a bronze medal in the Olympics, we talk about his mindset and we talk about his physical and mental training to get to the top of the sport.
Charlie really hones in on the importance of being mentally ready before racing when physical readiness (although important) seems to be the only thing that people focus on.
This episode speaks to all athletes as Charlie is coming with experience, knowing what it takes to get to the top of the sport. Make sure you listen all the way through to get all of the pearls of wisdom that he shares!
Charlie has been an inspiration to many athletes in the country and especially here in the North East, being from Bishop Auckland. His book - From First to Last: A Long Distance Runner's Journey from Failure to Success - has been recommended by numerous guests on this podcast and we talk about why and how the book was written, today.
We hope you learn something, we hope you get inspired and we hope you Find Your Fire.
