Resilient By Choice
Resilient By Choice with Ger Prendergast and Co-host David Hill is a podcast about pushing limits, choosing growth, and building unshakable resilience, no matter what life throws at you. Hosted by DECA UK winner and DECA UK Continuous winner Ger Prendergast, this show brings you raw conversations, practical tools, and inspiring stories from the world of endurance, mindset, and personal development.
Ger isn’t just talking theory, he’s lived it. From completing 52 Iron-distance triathlons in 52 weeks, racing across the Sahara in the Marathon des Sables, taking on the world in the 777 (seven marathons on seven continents in seven days), to finishing third in the Antarctic Marathon, Ger brings real experience to every episode. Each story, whether from his own journey or that of his guests, is a lesson in what it means to keep showing up, when it’s hard, when it hurts, and when no one’s watching.
This podcast is for athletes, everyday warriors, and anyone trying to become better, stronger, and more resilient, by choice, not by chance.

Boston Marathon: The Reality of Running a World Major
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Resilient By Choice Podcast, I reflect on my experience running the Boston Marathon, one of the most iconic races in the world and the first World Marathon Major of my journey.
I talk about the build-up to race day, the atmosphere around the city, the Boston 5K, the marathon expo, race morning logistics, and what it felt like to finally stand on the start line of a race I had heard about for years.
Beyond the race itself, I explore the lessons Boston taught me about appreciation, perspective, and the importance of enjoying the journey rather than becoming completely focused on performance.
I also share some of the differences between Boston and European marathons, the incredible crowd support, and why this race felt like so much more than just another marathon.
Whether you're a runner, endurance athlete, or simply someone chasing a goal that matters to you, I hope you'll find something useful in this conversation.
