Powerful Ultrarunning Lessons from Running Across Colorado with Hunter Leininger
What can ultrarunners learn from running 760 miles across Colorado with 300,000 feet of climbing—while battling sickness, broken gear, and brutal weather? That’s exactly what Hunter Leininger discovered on his record-setting traverse across the Rockies.
In this episode, Hunter shares not just the story of his Colorado FKT, but the practical lessons you can apply to your own training, racing, and mindset. Whether you’re training for your first ultra or chasing your own big goals, these insights will help you go further than you thought possible.
You’ll learn:
How to reframe suffering so it doesn’t break you mid-race
The daily strategy Hunter used that completely changed his performance
Why mindset can be more important than mileage in long ultras
A simple trick to avoid feeling overwhelmed by distance or time left
- The fueling principle that kept negative thoughts away for 760 miles
- Hunter’s personal race-day checklist that you can adapt to run your best race
Huge thank you to Hunter for coming on the show!
