The Happiness of the Long Distance Runner

Georgia Bell was a great runner as a child - but in college she fell out of love with the sport. She hung up her running shoes - and they gathered dust until Covid hit and she began to run again for fun. Turns out that aged 30, she's one of the fastest women in the world and is now headed to the Olympics!

Georgia tells Dr Laurie Santos how she regained her enthusiasm for the 1500mrace - and reflects on the happiness lessons she's picked up in her dramatic return to the very pinnacle of her sport.
