6 Mental Strategies To Help You Complete An Ultra Marathon

May 1, 2017April 13, 2018 / Ultra Run MD / Leave a comment

They say you run the first 50 miles of an ultra marathon with your body and the second 50 miles with your mind. What an exceptionally accurate presumption. I say this from experience. When the pain in your legs is unbearable and the blisters on your feet are abnormal and the chaffing on your body … Continue reading 6 Mental Strategies To Help You Complete An Ultra Marathon

“Let me tell you…It took courage when I ran my first 100 mile ultra marathon. I was leaping into the unknown without a parachute on. . . And that was true for every new distance whether it was my first marathon or the first time I ran 200 miles. . . Simply put, you have to step outside of your comfort zone to run a farther distance. This isn’t a suggestion, it’s a prescription. . . And you know what? That goes for anything new we want to accomplish in life. Wouldn’t you agree? . . Whether that’s something extreme like jumping out of an airplane or as simple as walking into a job interview. . . Or reaching that lower number on the scale…or… . . Falling in love…” 👟⚡️🙏 . .

“The longer the distance you run, the larger the purpose you need to have. Because when you anchor into something much larger than running, and allow running to become a tool towards that purpose, NOTHING can stand in your way.” 👟⚡️🙏 . .

I was experiencing extreme nausea after every ultramarathon. . . I was at the point I’d try anything. . . Fortunately, I stumbled upon a few videos on fat adaptation. I didn’t know anyone who was a fat adapted runner at the time, so I didn’t really know what to expect. . . There are moments in life where your intuition speaks loudly to you. This was one of those moments. . . The problem: there’s no physical evidence that can prove your success. . . It takes a leap of faith... . , I was risking the progress I made thus far. I already reached a 100 mile ultramarathon at a decent pace, I didn’t want to lose that. . . It was evident that becoming fat adapted took a step backwards to take two steps forward. You have to slow down before you can speed up. . . It was going to take time...And for what? . . To help with an upset stomach during an ultramarathon? And who knows if it would even help? . . What I learned: we tend to get in our own way when it comes to running. . . The beliefs we create help us at first, only to be the same obstacles we must overcome in the future. . . Obstacles will always be there. . . But the right solutions won’t. . . When you find one, and something inside says to go for it...thats usually the best time to make a change. . . I was grateful for carbo-loading. It helped me in the past. But now, it was an old belief I needed to get rid of. . . And once I became a fat adapted runner, my jaw dropped. My stomach issues vanished and I felt like I was running longer with less effort. I ran more 100 milers, 200 miles, and even longer. . . For the first time ever, I truly knew I could run long distances for the rest of my life. Thank you Fat Adapted Running... . . With that, I’m super excited to announce ‘The Fat Adapted Running Formula’ is now out on iTunes!!! 🏃‍♀️⚡️🏃‍♂️ Links in the BIO 🔝🔝🔝 (also available on Amazon/Audible). . . Thanks for listening and enjoy the journey!!! 👟⚡️🙏 . . #LiveOnTheRun #TheFatAdaptedRunningFormula #ultrarunning #trailrunning #ketorunner #fatadapted #fatasfuel #lowcarbhighfat #plantbasedathlete #marathontraining #longrun #runnersdiet #ketoathlete #highfatlowcarb #runningmotivation

“Consciously breathing helps you detach from your emotions while running. No longer are you a slave to your mind, but now...an observer of thought. Now instead of fighting that voice that SCREAMS to stop, you observe it, and can run longer.” 👟⚡️🙏 . .
