About this listen
Known worldwide for her mental fortitude, hardcore training tactics, and an ability to push through extreme discomfort, pro athlete Sally McRae’s strength wasn’t built in the gym. For the first time, McRae candidly tells her shocking story of abuse, loss, and wild resilience that laid the foundation for the woman she is today. In this powerful memoir, Sally bypasses the often-loud sea of motivational quotes and hyped ideas about what it means to be strong, cutting right to the core of every human with her gentle yet firm reminders that we are all strong!
Honest, relatable, and raw, every listener will connect with Sally’s story and see how they too can overcome even the most difficult situations in life and sport. Choose Strong is a story for everyone from every age and walk of life looking to live their strongest life.

Story52
Ultrarunner Andy Glaze has spent years moving through landscapes that test the limits of the human body—hundred-mile races, multi-day marathons, mountains and deserts that demanded everything. But the toughest endurance challenge Andy faced wasn’t found in any of those miles, it was in rebuilding a life shattered by addiction, institutional abuse, and a childhood full of chaos. This is the unfiltered story of how a kid fell hard but got back up even harder.

There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.

I found myself sleeping excessively for the two days it took me to listen to this book. Not sure why, now that I’m done I realize it was likely because Sally took me with her, through all the heaviness of her childhood, yet with a strong, courageous voice. I slept and dreamed, releasing things I haven’t in decades. Heaviness in the presence of strength.
Sally, your voice has been part of my soundtrack for years. Actually on YouTube videos and podcasts (including mine) and figuratively in my head as I run.
“What you want and what you need rarely align.”
Listening to your voice telling your story was one of the most riveting and powerful experiences I have ever had. Thank you for courageously sharing your memoir. You are beautifully and wonderfully made.
God certainly had plans for you.
