In this episode of "The INTOCHANGE Podcast," host Ben Lowe interviews David Watson, a prominent figure in the Mega Run Community. Watson shares his journey of overcoming a recent setback—a DNF in the Noosa 50k trail run—which impacted his confidence and mental state.
Growing up, Watson struggled with running and disliked it, often finishing last in school races. His move to Australia marked a significant shift in his mindset, largely influenced by better weather and a more conducive environment for running.
Watson opens up about the emotional toll of his DNF, expressing feelings of defeat and imposter syndrome. Despite this setback, he took time to reflect and rebuild his confidence, realizing his capabilities even in shorter races. The conversation also covers how he handles disappointments, emphasizing the importance of not dwelling on failures and setting realistic time frames to process setbacks.
Additionally, Watson discusses his daily routine and philosophy on exercise. He believes in starting the day with exercise, viewing it as the hardest part of the day and a way to set a positive tone. He also talks about the Law of Attraction and personal goals, stressing the importance of focusing on positive outcomes and gratitude.
Throughout the podcast, Watson's narrative is one of resilience, self-discovery, and personal growth, offering insights into overcoming challenges, both in sports and in life.
