The Art of Endurance: Why Creativity Matters in Ultra-Running

Most people don’t think of ultra-running as creative.

It’s numbers. It’s structure. It’s repetition.

But the best runners — the ones who stay in it for the long haul — often aren’t just tough.

They’re imaginative. Flexible. Quietly inventive.

In this episode, I explore why creativity is a powerful tool in training, racing, and staying in the game when things don’t go to plan.

From reframing long runs to adapting goals mid-race, to how we coach and train when life gets messy — this is about the art of movement, not just the metrics.

You’ll hear a few personal stories, a bit of coaching insight, and a quiet reminder that sometimes, improvisation is the real superpower.

🎧 Listen if you’ve ever had to reimagine your plan mid-run — or if you're looking for a little freedom in how you move forward.
