Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 57: Season Round Up / Anthony Gay and Hywel Evans
Q: Do runners make better leaders?
Yes, due to enhanced mindset, resilience, and the ability to process challenges, with running serving as a practical framework for personal leadership and clearer decision-making.
Episode 56 Jon Naylor / Wing Commander, Consultant Physician, Ultra Runner
Q: Is leadership something learned through training, or is it innate?
He argues that leadership has innate elements but is something that can be taught and trained, with the military and medical pathways illustrating how experience and deliberate practice sharpen leadership skills.
Episode 56 Jon Naylor / Wing Commander, Consultant Physician, Ultra Runner
Q: Jon, when did you last go running?
He describes a recent run with his dog in Stamford, emphasizing that running is a regular part of his routine and helps keep him physically fit and mentally focused for leadership.
Episode 47: Hannah Cox / Project Salt Run
Q: What advice would you give to someone in a leadership role considering taking up running or a similar endurance project?
Start at a sustainable pace and don't worry about speed. If you can hold a conversation, you're going fast enough and you can last longer. It's also okay to walk breaks when needed, and you should focus on consistent daily action rather than chasing perfection. Build an inclusive running community to support you and your goals.
Episode 47: Hannah Cox / Project Salt Run
Q: Tell me about the steps that you took to get into running and how you prepared for the challenge.
I started with supporting a friend's challenge, joined local running communities, and gradually built consistency. The process involved learning to manage a moving business while training daily, focusing on resilience, and surrounding myself with a crew who could adapt and contribute in various ways. The pivotal moment was recognizing that, despite not being a natural runner, I could commit to daily action, which laid the foundation for the 100 marathons in 100 days.
