"RUNNING IS PERSONAL, IT'S ABOUT PUSHING YOURSELF WHEN YOU NEED TO, AND BACKING OFF WHEN NEEDED. IT'S A JOURNEY WITH SELF THAT MAKES THIS SPORT SO MAGICAL."
JOHANNA WILLIAMS
"RUNNING HAS TAUGHT ME THAT LIFE IS LESS ABOUT THE FINISH LINE AND MORE ABOUT ONE'S EXPERIENCE, THE SETBACKS THEY OVERCOME AND THE GROWTH ALONG THE WAY."
JOHANNA HAS COMPLETED HER WORLD MAJOR’S JOURNEY INCLUDING LA, SHE'S COMPLETED CHICAGO, BOSTON, NEW YORK, BERLIN, LONDON AND TOKYO. EACH RACE, AND THE TRAINING CYCLE LEADING UP TO IT HAS NOT ONLY ALLOWED HER TO SEE THE WORLD ON FOOT BUT ALSO HAS SERVED AS A JOURNEY IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT HERSELF AND IMPROVING HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HERSELF.
JOHANNA’S LATEST RACE SERVED HER A 02:57:50 TIME AT THE TOKYO MARATHON WHICH IS HER 10TH MARATHON THUS FAR. JO TRAINS LIKE AN ATHLETE BUT ENJOYS THE JOURNEY AND DOESN’T PUT TO MUCH PRESSURE ON HERSELF.
"02:57:50 AT THE TOKYO MARATHON. THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. NOW LET'S GET BACK TO WORK!"
“YOU CAN APPROACH PAIN AND DISCOMFORT WITH CURIOSITY, AND THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO SHOW UP FOR YOURSELF WHEN THINGS START TO FEEL CHALLENGING, WHETHER THAT’S LEANING INTO THE INTENSITY OR BACKING OFF. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, I FEEL REALLY STRONGLY THAT RUNNING SHOULD ALWAYS BRING YOU JOY.”
WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT’S NEXT FOR JOHANNA AND WE WILL BE CHEERING HER ON, THE WHOLE WAY THERE.
