#459: Alexi Pappas, Olympic Runner, Author, + Bravey
About this episode
Sarah and Dimity talk with Alexi Pappas, Olympic runner, actor, and author of Bravey: Chasing Dreams, Befriending Pain, and Other Big Ideas. The hosts are smitten as Alexi details:
-the definition of a “Bravey,” a resonate term she coined;
-the hardest part, for her, of the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games;
-the paramount importance of sleep;
-actionable strategies for dealing with pain during a race or workout; and,
-the self-preservation power of “willpower budgeting.”
Before Alexi hops on at 14:17, Dimity details her first strokes (pool + bike) for her Aquabike race.
