Visualization isn’t just for elite athletes or woo-woo yogis. It’s a practical, game-changing tool that every ultra runner should have in their arsenal. In this episode, we’re diving into why visualization matters, how it works, and most importantly how you can use it to boost your confidence and crush your first (or farthest) ultra.  

Let’s be real: taking on an ultra is intimidating. It’s a big, scary goal that lives miles outside your comfort zone. Sure, your training plan is key, but what’s happening in your head matters just as much (maybe even more). That’s where visualization comes in.  

I’ll walk you through four specific visualization exercises:  

1. See yourself as the badass ultra runner you are becoming — because the identity shift is part of the process.  

2. Picture yourself at the start line — calm, confident, and ready to roll (no pre-race freakouts allowed).  

3. Prepare for tough spots on the course — so you’ll know exactly how to handle them.  

4. Visualize your epic finish — because the journey’s end deserves more than a death march.  

Visualization isn’t magic, but it is the missing link between training hard and believing hard. Your thoughts shape your feelings, and your feelings drive your actions. So let’s start thinking like the ultra runner you’re meant to be.  

Tune in for a fun, no-fluff guide to making visualization work for you. By the end, you’ll know how to transform your mental game and go from “What was I thinking?” to “Hell yes, I’ve got this!”
