After years of chasing the elusive sub-two-minute 800m, Skylyn Webb finally did it — but not without a long stretch of feeling stuck in the middle.
In this episode, I talk with Skylyn about the slow, often invisible middle parts of pursuing a goal, the burnout that nearly pushed her out of the sport, and how letting go became the key to unlocking her breakthrough.
We also get into her next chapter with Meridia, the new athlete-led pro team she’s joined, her passion for mental health, the brave act of marriage, and how her coach Julie Benson has been a game changer in her journey.
