I joined Jon Levitt for a conversation all about what it really means to “go farther” — not just in running, but in life. And whether you’re chasing your first 5K, trying to PR your marathon, stepping into ultras, or taking on a goal that scares the hell out of you, this episode is all about helping you believe that you’re capable of more. In this episode, we talk about: How running helped me go from addiction to 7 years sober Why “going farther” doesn’t always mean running more miles How to choose goals that scare you in the right way Why failure is never really failure if you learn from it How to use hard moments in running to become stronger in life Why your “why” matters when things get hard The power of self-talk when you’re deep in the pain cave How to approach uncertainty, fear, and big goals with confidence Huge thank you to Jon Levitt and For The Long Run for having me on, and to Mount to Coast for hosting this live event at the Boston Marathon Expo SHOW LINKS: Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Book a free call here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with one of our coaches to see if we are a good fit!
