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.
