In this episode, your host, Karey Miles, delves into her mental state and methods of preparation for her first 60k ultra marathon on the Black Canyon Trail (BCT) in AZ.

She starts by giving a brief run down of the BCT and the race and her experiences on the trail in the past.

 To help you understand where her years of experience on the bike and in other athletic disciplines have helped her prepare mentally for this race, she delves into her history as an athlete and how she has learned to work hard.

She hopes that by sharing her methods of being prepared and dealing with setbacks and potential negative self-talk,  listeners might find comfort that  they are not alone  if you have self-doubts going into your next adventure. She hopes that you can find some ways to find positive self-talk and strength from within yourself.

Karey does get a bit emotional at the end - unexpectedly, so bear with her as she navigates all the feels this week!  Thanks for tuning in!
