s5/e19 How to Think Like A Runner with Jeff Horowitz

s5/e19 How to Think Like A Runner with Jeff Horowitz

This week I’m joined by Jeff Horowitz—"recovering attorney" turned running coach, author of Think Like a Runner, and someone who’s run over 200 marathons (yes, really!). Jeff shares stories from his global racing adventures (including an ultramarathon in Cairo where he was chased by wild dog s), his journey back from a devastating femur fracture, and why he thinks every runner—no matter their pace—deserves to take themselves seriously.

We get into:

  • Why so many runners struggle to call themselves runners

  • How your relationship with running evolves over time

  • What it means to truly trust your body again after injury

  • How to define success beyond speed or finish times

  • Why you do deserve good gear, a coach, and the “serious runner” stuff, no matter your pace


This was one of those conversations that just felt like a long exhale. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re a “real” runner, or wrestled with how to stay in love with this sport as things shift and change, this episode is for you
