In this episode of Wolfies World, Brian discusses the concept of being a 'running juggler' in ultra running, emphasizing the importance of balancing various aspects of training, recovery, nutrition, and hydration.

He highlights the need for strength training, the impact of sleep on performance, and the significance of proper fueling during runs.

The conversation encourages listeners to be mindful of their training routines and to focus on areas that may need improvement to maximize their performance on race day.

I chatted with Elsa Jaworski about how she keeps running when she wants to quit. She has ran multiple 200 mile+ races, multiple 100 mile races, and more.
