When an individual reaches a personal goal, the ripple effect of their achievement inspires and motivates others. Sue’s colleague Tania unpacks her experience of running the recent Royal Parks half Marathon in London. The pair discuss emotional awareness in relation to physical movement. They ponder the connection to ‘atmospheric energy’ during a large-scale community event and the support we can draw from it. They share their love of science and how it can encourage us to better understand and savour such moments and continue to thrive.
