Borderlands Trail (+ Ultra) Running

Facing Darkness: The Psychology of Ultrarunning + the Goggins Effect [Wolfie's World]


Listen Later

(Wylder is now available on iOS + Android.)

Wolfie talks about the 'Goggins effect'—the need to channel inner strength and confront personal insecurities during races.

  • Ultra running is increasingly seen as a social flex, similar to marathons years ago.
  • Mental preparation is as crucial as physical training for ultra races.
  • Runners must confront their insecurities during 100-mile races.
  • The 'Goggins pill' symbolizes the need for inner strength during tough moments.
  • Many runners may not be physically prepared for the demands of a 100-miler.
  • Adversity in life can prepare runners for the challenges of ultra races.
