## Resource

Cocodona 250 is one of the most epic ultramarathons in the world. But even if you’re not racing 250 miles, there are massive lessons from this race that can help you become a better ultrarunner. In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I’ve learned from racing, pacing, crewing, commentating, and studying Cocodona over the years — and how you can apply them to your next 50K, 100K, 100 miler, 200 miler, or any big goal you’re chasing. In this episode, I cover: Why you shouldn’t over-index your weaknesses at the expense of your strengths How to keep running when your brain is begging you to walk Why the words you say out loud during a race can change everything How to set race goals that actually keep you locked in Why aid station efficiency can save you hours How to approach sleep in 200-mile races and longer ultras What to do when the race hurts more than you expected Why chasing the big scary goal is almost always worth it Whether Cocodona is calling your name or you’re just looking to level up your ultramarathon performance, this episode will help you race smarter, stay tougher, and keep moving when it matters most.
