If you want a story of drive, grit and determination, this episode with Kate Smyth is for you.
Kate represented Australia in the marathon at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and the Commonwealth Games in 2006. We talk about all the hurdles she had to overcome to qualify for those teams, and why she persevered when so many people told her to give up. We discuss why outcome-focused goals don’t always serve us, and how your biggest dreams don’t always match up with reality.
Kate has a personal best of 2:28, which she ran in Nagano, Japan to qualify for the Olympics. These days, Kate is a holistic health and performance coach, guest speaker and director at the Athlete Sanctuary, a sports clinic designed for athletes yearning to take on extraordinary challenges. She provides support to sportswomen through a balanced health, holistic nutrition and female-centred exercise approach. Kate developed her passion for health during her running career.
Although now retired from competition, Kate maintains a daily physical fitness routine including running, riding and strength work and a balanced nutrition approach direct from her edible garden.
