Join me on this inspiring episode as I chat with accomplished ultramarathoner Bill Dittman about his incredible journey from a listless college student to an endurance athlete. 

In this episode we cover:

Bill's incredible journey was sparked by witnessing his roommate's Iron Man competition in 2011. Discover how Bill overcame mental and physical challenges to progress from 5K races to 100-mile events, all while developing a positive mindset and approach to life.

In this episode, we dive into the tight-knit ultra running community in Arizona, where Bill found his friends and support network. We explore his experiences racing in three 100-mile events,  Cocadona, Western States, and Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, and how he tapped into his inner strength to make the most of each race, even when facing injuries and burnout. Learn how Bill's journey in endurance running has impacted his life, from cultivating a strong mindset and growing his confidence to informing his work and life outside of athletics.

We also discuss the crucial role of proper nutrition and recovery for ultra runners, and how Bill's work with endurance sports company Maurten has helped him fuel his running journey and reduce GI distress. Bill shares his excitement for potential races in 2023, including the High Lonesome 100 and the Hardrock 100, and answers questions about his favorite shoe brand, go-to song, and bucket list races. Don't miss this conversation with Bill Ditman and get inspired to challenge yourself and live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
