I think that we can all agree that the fear we experience at the beginning (or during the early stages of training) is REAL! After the initial high & excitement of signing up, most runners have some fear about how the hell they're going to accomplish their goal.

It would be this: DON'T QUIT. Quitting will slow you down. It'll chip away at your confidence and it will have you caught in a never ending cycle. There's going to be lots of ups and downs on the path towards crossing the finish line of your race. Some days you'll feel like you're on top of the world, you're firing on all cylinders, and like you're completely untouchable. And then there will be days where quitting feels like the best & most humane option to put you out of your misery. In thi...

I'm betting you've said this to yourself at least once or twice. We all have a preconceived notion of what it means to be a "real" runner (or ultra runner). For some of us it's based on how fast we run, or the number of times we run a week, or how far we run....and the list goes on. We build these concepts up in our head based on our experiences, things we've seen or read or heard, maybe because of what someone said to us. In today's episode I want to share a couple of stories that will help you...

One of my fatal flaws is that when I'm considering a race, I tend to evaluate whether other not I can do it based on my fitness right then in that moment. I think: "Could I do this race right now?" 99% of the time, the answer is NO (obviously!) because I'm usually picking races when it's my off season or when I'm taking a break so while I might be fit, I'm certainly not race ready!
