#169 - Why Fitness Has Always Been My Anchor | Naomi Heffernan

Nike Trainer, coach, presenter and HYROX athlete Naomi Heffernan joins Ben Sheppard on this week's episode of The RunThrough Podcast for a brilliant conversation about building a career you're passionate about, embracing change and finding confidence in yourself. Growing up with elite athlete parents, fitness has always been part of Naomi's life, but her journey into the industry wasn't a straightforward one. From pursuing a career in acting to becoming one of Nike's leading trainers, she shares how following what brought her joy completely changed the direction of her life. Ben and Naomi also chat about the incredible rise of HYROX, why community has become such a huge part of the fitness world, competing at the HYROX World Championships and why she's now swapping sled pushes for swim sessions as she prepares for her next challenge, an Ironman 70.3. The conversation also goes far beyond training, touching on self-worth, knowing when it's time to move on, making difficult decisions and why trusting your instincts can often lead to the biggest opportunities.
