Coach D (Daphne) and Runner V (Vanessa) are on the show this week, talking about listening to your body and insider tips for the Athens Marathon. Daphne is one of my supporters who has helped me with my fitness at a time when I was trying to do things the old way. Although not a professional trainer, she had a lot of knowledge about how the body works through a transformation journey. More than that she had empathy for that transition stage and showed me that I hadn’t taken into account what happens to your muscles when you have had something major happen to your body. Listening to your body, but understanding your journey. We expand our discussion from cancer and exercise to dig into and explore the role of exercise for Daphne as well who is a busy mother of two, working in start-ups and entrepreneurial roles that are as fast paced as her kids. Daphne is Greek and Vanessa shares the plan hatched with Julia to run Athens and we find out all about it as Daphne has already done it. We also discuss “encouraging” Daphne into running Athens again. Hoping she can join Julia and I and we can create an #outruncancer potential group run in Athens in November 2022! Who’s coming with us?
