#runningfordistance #gotheultramile #TimWillis In this week's episode I get to chat with ultra runner Tim Willis who resides in Miami, Florida. Tim is a Physical Therapy Assistant, running coach, ultra runner and recently published author of The Ultra Mile: The Joy, Freedom and Opportunities of Running that releases on May 10th on Amazon. We talk about his personal experiences pre-running with basketball and baseball and then eventually leading into running after high school where he embraced the 5K and wanted more and eventually wrestled with the marathon for several years before tackling 100 mile ultra marathons. In our discussion, which also is outlined in his book, we discuss his experiences in the Keys 100 where the wheels fell off at mile 25 and he endured 75 miles of pure hell. Our discussion journeys through mental toughness and grit and how to push the mind and body to its true potential. It was a fun conversation with Tim, who is truly passionate about what he does and has definitely found his why and it's evident in what he does and how he goes about getting things done. Sit back and enjoy this discussion with Tim Wills and also go out and snag his book on Amazon and help support an amazing individual.
