The importance of discipline cannot be overstated. There are many days I don’t feel like training. I’m 50, I have run over 30 ultramarathons multiple 100 mile races at any point I can stop and hang up the running shoes and not a single person would care… But me. But for whatever reason that is not in me to do, so I choose discipline, to keep training, to keep pushing, to keep getting better every single day.

The Complete Ultramarathon Guide (Prep, Gear & Mindset)
In our latest video, The Complete Ultramarathon Guide (Prep, Gear & Mindset), we broke down what it truly takes to transition from road races to the ultra world. It’s not just about running further—it’s about adapting your entire approach to survive and thrive.

Here are the 3 non-negotiables we discussed: 1️⃣ Durability over Speed: Building time on your feet through slow, back-to-back long runs. Your muscles, bones, and fascia need to adapt to the sheer time under tension. 2️⃣ The Fueling Game: You have to practice eating when you don't want to eat. Under-fueling leads to the dreaded bonk, while improper hydration leads to major GI issues. Remember: you race how you practice! 3️⃣ Dialing in Your 'Why': When things get tough 70 miles deep, your physical prep is exposed, but your mental 'why' is what carries you to the finish line.
