Episode 607: Charlotte Purdue on Overcoming Setbacks in the Olympic Year and Preparing for London

Today on the show, I’m excited to welcome back Charlotte Purdue! Charlotte is a professional runner from Great Britain who now runs for Puma, and this is actually her third time joining the podcast. She was first on in Episode 190 after becoming the third-fastest British female marathoner ever at the time, running 2:25 at the London Marathon. Then, in Episode 382, she came back after finishing ninth at the 2022 Boston Marathon.

Since then, Charlotte has continued to make huge strides in her career, lowering her marathon personal best to 2:22 at the Berlin Marathon. She earned a spot on the British team for the Paris Olympics—a dream years in the making. Unfortunately, just a couple of weeks before the Games, she rolled her ankle and had to make the heartbreaking decision to withdraw. I still remember seeing her announcement and feeling so sad for her.

In this conversation, Charlotte shares how she bounced back from that disappointment, what her recovery looked like (including getting a new puppy to lift her spirits!), and the new perspective she’s carrying into this next season. She’s running the London Marathon this weekend—her second race since returning from injury—and I can’t wait to see how she does. Charlotte has such a grounded, positive mindset about running and life, and it was so great to catch up with her.

Thanks so much for tuning in—please enjoy my conversation with Charlotte Purdue!
