<p>Emily Fairs is back on the pod! This week we catch up on her Saucony 10K race, break down whether an ultramarathon or a 10K is actually harder, and talk about drinking and training through the summer with no guilt. </p><p>We also dig into the impossible standard female creators are held to. Emily reads out a comment accusing her of losing weight and we unpack why she "can't win" no matter what she posts. </p><p>And if that wasn't enough, we touch on the Meta glasses consent controversy, London Marathon's new two-day format, and why delusion and optimism might be the secret to achieving anything.</p><p>Follow Emily here: https://www.instagram.com/emilyjanefairs/?hl=en</p><p>If you're watching on YouTube, make sure you're subscribed. </p><p>If you're listening on Spotify, follow the podcast and rate it five stars. </p><p>Catch a new episode every Thursday.</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>0:00 - Intro</p><p>0:30 - Catching up + reminder to subscribe</p><p>1:57 - Recapping the Saucony 10K race</p><p>5:42 - Panic attacks, health anxiety &amp; race recovery</p><p>8:20 - Breaking down 10K race day nerves</p><p>10:22 - Ultramarathon vs 10K: what's actually harder</p><p>14:08 - Why she loves ultra training more</p><p>16:36 - Drinking during a training block</p><p>17:49 - Balance, identity &amp; not living an "athlete lifestyle"</p><p>20:20 - London Marathon PB &amp; running with "shackles off"</p><p>21:35 - Winning her 100K race (and why she wasn't happy about it)</p><p>29:54 - London Marathon's new two-day format debate</p><p>33:49 - Biggest demographic: women aged 20-29 taking up marathon running</p><p>36:12 - The Instagram comment about her weight</p><p>43:07 - "You generally can't win": the impossible standard for female creators</p><p>48:19 - Meta glasses, consent &amp; filming culture</p><p>55:05 - Cycling, triathlons &amp; upcoming races</p><p>56:56 - World Cup fever &amp; English football pride</p><p>1:00:48 - Do we win the World Cup?</p><p>1:01:58 - The Power of the Subconscious Mind &amp; self-belief</p><p>1:05:36 - Wrap up &amp; goodbyes</p><p>Watch on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WGIXQz6Pa0V9WIa4gIxOV?si=e19d4acb7b964eebFollow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepod Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepodCalum's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/Calum's TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@calumgoddard YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC4g2mhwrlRBzXhAsyXVWz4A Contact: motionalintelligencepod@gmail.com</p>
