Survive the Night: How to Stay Motivated Through Ultra Running’s Toughest Hours


Listen Later

Ever found yourself lost in the darkness during an ultra run, questioning why you ever started this crazy journey? Let me take you on a personal adventure through the moonlit trails where perspectives shift, and challenges morph into serene experiences. Discover how the tranquility of running under a starlit sky can transform a daunting obstacle into one of the most beautiful parts of your ultra running journey. In this episode, I share how breaking the long nights into manageable segments helps in maintaining focus and positivity, along with personal stories from races like the Peak District 100 that turned the night into a canvas of cherished memories.

We get into:
• Shifting focus from darkness as an obstacle to an adventure 
• Breaking the night into smaller, manageable goals 
• Utilizing music and treats to keep spirits high 
• Connecting with fellow runners and volunteers for support
