In this solo episode, I delve into the quieter, often unspoken side of ultrarunning: what happens when motivation fades?
No injuries. No illness. Just a deep, unsettling disinterest in running. Right in the middle of peak racing season, this conversation is for anyone who's ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or unsure of their "why."
✅ Give yourself permission to pause
✅ Move without pressure or metrics
✅ Reframe your identity beyond running
✅ Talk to someone — vulnerability builds resilience
✅ Focus on intrinsic goals like joy, solitude, and connection to nature
❌ Don’t force it
❌ Avoid signing up for races out of guilt
❌ Stop comparing yourself to your past self
