Rohan Kallicharan - The true nature of resilience
“If you get knocked over, get up again, that's a good starting point… but the true essence of resilience is: how do I do it different and better?”
Many of us think about resilience through the lens of grit and tenacity to keep going. Speaking candidly about his struggles with his mental health and working through a toxic relationship with running, our guest this week, Rohan Kallicharan, pushes us to find a new perspective on how we reframe and rethink our problems.
Having started running to get fit and have fun, he quickly found running became an obsession which took over his life; and when injury and overwork hit he was left burnt out and at rock bottom. This week’s episode gets to the heart of what the RunAlive podcast is really all about: how what you can learn through running can make you better at home and work, as long as you have it all in the right place. With honesty and insight, Ro gives us some practical help to overcome adversity, fall back in love with running, and aid our own recovery when life feels bleak. This episode is not to be missed!
