Ep. 319 - 7 Unconventional Steps To Successful Ultra Training


Listen Later

When you think about “successful” ultra training…your brain probably goes straight to outcomes.

Finishing. PRs. Going farther than you ever have before.

But here’s the problem…That’s not where success actually lives.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why successful ultra training is process-based not outcome-based and why focusing only on the end result is the fastest way to stall your progress.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why outcomes (like finishing a race or hitting a time goal) are just moments in time—not the full picture
  • The real, unsexy “wins” that actually drive progress (and why you’re probably overlooking them)
  • How focusing only on mileage can back you into a corner
  • What to do when you hit that inevitable “freak out” moment in training
  • How to build a process that actually works for your life, schedule, and starting point
  • Why consistency, awareness, and small daily actions matter more than any single workout

If you’ve been chasing a goal for a while and feel like you’re not getting anywhere…

This episode will help you zoom out, reset, and start looking at your training in a way that actually leads to progress.

Because at the end of the day:

Process over outcome. Every single time.
