Ever felt like the last few miles of an ultra were battling not just your body, but your mind? I'm Richard Gleave, and together with counselor and ultramarathon aficionado Shannon Mick, we unravel the mental labyrinth of ultra running. We're taking you through a journey of mind over marathon, revealing how a shift from a fixed to a growth mindset isn't just psychobabble—it's your secret weapon to outlast those daunting distances. In this deep dive, Shannon gifts us with strategies to turn self-doubt into self-belief, embracing the grind as a chance to emerge more resilient.

Ultra running isn't just about the legs; it's about the stories we tell ourselves with each stride. As I share from my own trove of experiences, we'll show you how mindfulness can be more than a trendy term—it's the glue that holds your mental game together when the going gets tough. We talk about the power of SMART goals to cut through the fatigue fog, keeping you razor-focused on the why behind each step. Let's transform those monotonous miles into moments of zen together.

Running is more than a solo sport; it's about the shared sweat and solidarity. In this episode, we celebrate the back-of-the-pack heroes and dissect the essence of community within the ultra scene. We navigate the emotional rollercoaster of setbacks, and instead of dwelling on the dips, we plot the comeback. It's about setting goals that stretch you, finding strength in your fellow runners, and making the journey back from injury or a tough race not just possible, but part of your growth story. Tune in and tap into the collective endurance of our trail-blazing tribe.
