The 5 Secrets ALL Ultra Runners NEED to Know

Even David Goggins admits that he should have fueled his body differently when he ran his first ultra-marathon. Therefore, today on the show, as a professional ultra-athlete with asthma I am revealing the Top 5 Secrets that every aspiring ultra runner must know. Whether you're navigating the complexities of nutrition, striving to maintain forward momentum, or managing energy and heart rate, I got you covered, so you don't have to make the same mistakes myself and 1,000s of ultra runners (including David Goggins) have made. Along the way, I will share with you how overcoming my own medical challenges, including asthma and a PFO (a hole in my heart), has fueled my success. Tune in for essential strategies, practical takeaways, and the mindset shifts needed to conquer ultra-distance running and become the ultimate athlete and person you want to be.
