In this episode of Ultra Mad, we dive into the mental side of training and explore how to keep running consistently when motivation disappears. I talk about the difference between motivation and discipline, simple rituals that make showing up easier, handling low-energy days, and how to deal with the guilt of missed sessions. We’ll also look at balancing life stress, leaning on community, and adopting the long-term mindset that keeps runners moving forward. If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent, this episode will give you the tools and perspective to keep showing up—mile after mile.

Training for ultramarathons demands time, energy, and sacrifice—but how do you balance that with work, relationships, and a social life? In this honest and reflective episode, I dive into the real challenges of ultra training that most people don’t talk about—like fatigue at work, strain on relationships, and missing out on social events. I’ll also share practical tips and mindset shifts to help you train hard without burning out your life.
