Running is always about more than running.
In this Sally’s Hotline episode, Sally shares a reminder for anyone who’s ever questioned why they started in the first place. Whether you began out of hope, heartbreak, habit, or sheer spite, you showed up, and that matters more than anything.
Sally dedicates this story to Beth, a fellow runner she met at the 2025 London Marathon, a race Beth signed up for just to spite her ex… and finished with grit.
In this mini episode, you’ll hear:
You did the work. You showed up. You get full credit.
This one's for every runner who’s ever cried during a marathon, doubted their strength, or wondered if they were doing it for the “right” reasons. You are. Keep going.
