Ultramarathons & Coaching Outdoors with Anna-Marie Watson

In this episode, Dr Jen Sherman is joined by Anna-Marie Watson. Anna-Marie was an officer in the British Army for 9 years and completed three operational tours. An experienced Expedition Leader, she is no stranger to extreme and hostile environments.

When not running, Anna-Marie is also a successful coach to both business leaders and athletes. Her area of specialism is coaching outdoors and in 2020 she co-authored a chapter on ‘Eco-coaching’ for the ‘Coaches Handbook’.

Fear of failure
The dark side of being passionate and driven-at what point does it become harmful to our wellbeing?
