Jakes's advice for a first time 100 mile racer:
-Just sign up and take action. (The fear of a deadline is powerful).
-Don't worry about pace. Build your miles comfortably and get some high volume days. THEN work on speed.

Join us for another TWO PART podcast, where we interview Ryan Head BEFORE his first 100 mile race and AFTER his first 100 mile race. Ryan shares his story about how he got into running in the first place (and lost 75lbs), and eventually how he became an ultrarunner.

In this episode, you'll get some training tools, some life advice, and will learn a little bit more about mental health and about the mental game of ultrarunning. It's one you're not going to want to miss.

-There's no shame
-There's so much more to learn when you don't accomplish your goals

Anthony, also known as "The Scarecrow Runner" shares his story of running 100 miles for the first time...Here's the catch...It took him THREE attempts to finally cross the finish line. His first two strikes, he ran further than he ever had before, and he learned lessons that helped him finally cross the finish line in 2019. His story is not only inspirational, but incredibly educational. If you're looking to train for your first 100 and need an overview of the basics of ultra running, THIS is the episode for you!

One year ago Michael saw that he was the heaviest he had ever been after weighing himself before getting on a helicopter. He had to sit at the back of the helicopter while all his friends got to sit up front and enjoy the views. He decided it was time to make some changes. He began running to lose weight and fell in love with it. In less than a year, Michael went from a "non-runner" to an ultrarunner, completing his first 100mile race just a few weeks ago! Listen now for his race recap and how running changed his life.

-Get comfortable being uncomfortable
-Pain is temporary, but quitting is forever
-Our bodies and minds are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for
-Don't be scared to do the hard things in life
-Set goals, make a plan, and EXECUTE
