How do we overcome loneliness? And how can running help?

In this episode of Run To The Top, Nick Jonsson joins the show to address these questions head-on. Guided partly by personal experience through recovery and partly through research for his book “Executive Loneliness”, Nick offers many lessons on how to take stock of your situation, ask for help, get healthy, and find your relationships and purpose in this world.

Tying it all back to our running community and Nick’s background in long-distance triathlons, we talk about:

how to define and identify loneliness in an athletic context
the impacts of loneliness on athlete well-being and performance
strategies for overcoming loneliness
strategies to build resilience and maintain motivation in the face of setbacks
how to stay focused on your long-term running goals
