The Runna Podcast

What does it take to go from thinking you’ve run your last race to standing on the Olympic podium? Today on the Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Georgia Hunter Bell, Olympic bronze medalist and National record holder. Georgia’s journey is anything but ordinary and we unpacked it all…

What we spoke about:

🌟 The Lowest Point: How Georgia’s dream seemed over after stress fractures, injuries, and an identity crisis during her U.S. scholarship experience, leading her to leave running behind for the corporate world.

🔥 Her Astonishing Comeback: From quitting the sport entirely to returning as an unranked, unsponsored underdog—and transforming into a Nike-sponsored Olympian with a national record to her name.

🏃‍♀️ The Thrill of the Final Straight: What went through her mind in the last 100 meters of the 1500m final as she battled with four others to claim her bronze medal.

💡 Belief as a Game-Changer: Why self-confidence was the key to her success and how it can make the difference between winning and falling short.

🚺 Women Leading Women: Georgia shares the importance of female coaches, the strength of role models, and the positive environment women leaders create in sport.

🎯 What’s Next: How she plans to navigate life as a medalist and her relentless drive for what’s still to come.

Georgia’s story isn’t just about medals—it’s about grit, courage, and the power of staying true to yourself.
