Mike Mcknight, former guest of the podcast, discusses his motivation for running ultra marathons, the mantra that drives him, and the role of faith in his running journey. He shares how his faith has been strengthened through running and how it has helped him become a better runner. He emphasizes the importance of balancing running with other aspects of life and finding ways to give back.

Takeaways

  • Running ultra marathons can serve as a way to set an example for others
  • The mantra 'Comfort is a waste of potential' can be a powerful motivator in pushing through challenges.
  • Faith can play a significant role in running, providing strength and guidance during low points.
  • Bringing God into the equation can help prevent running from becoming an idol and keep priorities in check.
  • Taking care of oneself through running is not selfish but allows for a better version of oneself to be present for loved ones.
  • Finding ways to give back and involve others in the running journey can help maintain a balanced perspective.
