298 Run Your Race: The Power of Consistency, Faith, and Mental Strength

In the second part of our conversation David Charlton speaks with endurance athlete, coach, and world record holder Pierce Showe, who completed 153 consecutive half marathons to raise awareness about health and nutrition.  Together, they explore what it really means to run your race in sport, business, and life. Pierce shares his philosophy of focusing on your own journey, avoiding the comparison trap, and finding strength through faith and purpose. He also talks about how goal setting and discipline form the foundation for consistent growth and long-term success, lessons that resonate far beyond running. If you've ever struggled with comparison, motivation, or the post-goal "what's next?" feeling, this conversation will inspire you to stay consistent, stay grounded, and stay faithful to your process. Key Takeaways Run your race – Focus on being better than you were yesterday, not on others' achievements. You're capable of more than you think – True growth comes through daily discipline and consistency. Faith and purpose fuel resilience – When your identity isn't tied to performance, you find freedom and deeper motivation. Listeners and Viewers to the full conversation will receive inspiring lessons on endurance, focus, and belief. Feel Free to Tune In!
