Emily is pulling back the curtain on a massive, exciting new project she’s producing for Nike’s Global Running Head Coach, Coach Bennett, in celebration of their After Dark series. Diving into this international production has Emily reflecting on what it’s like to work within a team again after nearly a decade of being her own boss.
She breaks down her go-to strategy for staying productive when the calendar gets packed (hello, timed to-do lists!) and shares a personal "story time" about conquering a tough running workout on the treadmill when Canadian wildfire smoke compromised the local air quality.
Plus, Emily answers a listener question about preparing for a first marathon, offering invaluable advice on mindset, expectations, and the importance of putting in the work.
