We ultramarathon runners love to push and test our limits. 

The challenge is what draws us. And it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of doing more and longer races. 

But there’s a downside too. Sometimes we forget that rest and recovery are just as important as training and racing. We’re in an extreme sport, and we can take our drive to do more to the extreme and find ourselves in BURNOUT. 

My guest this week is Heather Hart. She’s an exercise physiologist, ultra runner, blogger, and coach. She’s had some personal experience with burnout, and in this episode she shares how she got there and her journey back to balance in life and running.
