47: A Training Update on My First 50 km Ultramarathon
Manage episode 481793418 series 3527820
I’m ten days away from running a 50K Spartan Ultra, and I’m not going to lie—I’m terrified. This episode is a raw, honest look at my training journey: from zero miles per week to 30+, battling illness, and managing injury... I talk about what I wish I had done differently, how I’m mentally preparing, and why even being scared means I’ve chosen the right goal. If you’re training for your first big race or just love hearing what it takes to push your limits—this one’s for you.
