I'm a Normal Person Who Runs Marathons - Here's How I Make It Work

"I'm just a normal person with a job and kids who happens to run marathons." Jacinta's been running for over 20 years, and her secret isn't loving 4 AM wake-ups or having perfect motivation. It's something much more practical (and achievable). In this honest conversation, Jacinta shares: • How her dad's encouragement led to her first half marathon • Why community support changed everything for her running • The reality of fitting exercise around family life (spoiler: it's not glamorous) • How she went from "normal times" to 4 AM training sessions • Why she prioritises her "me time" and how it makes her a better mum • Her simple advice for building habits that actually stick "I really do like to stress, like I'm a normal person who does this. I have a job, I have kids. I fit it in around everything else, and it is possible." This isn't about perfect genetics or unlimited time. It's about finding what works for YOUR life and building a community that supports you. What's your biggest challenge with staying consistent? Let us know in the comments. getactiveforlife.com
