#70 - Carly Spataro: Focusing on what matters in life and running

In this conversation with Carly we discuss: Breaking a sub 3 hour marathon; How running helps her physical and mental well-being; How she manages negative self talk whilst running; How she’s managing training and racing during the COVID-19 pandemic; Why she runs today, compared to how she started; How she tries to find balance whilst being an A type person. Carly got into running in 2016 and developed a love for marathons. She has completed 11 marathons ranging from times of 3:49 to her current personal record of 2:55. She works work full time as a pharmacist, concurrently she’s putting in the graft. In 2020 she ran 4000 miles which equates to a weekly average of 76 miles.
