## Resource

Chad Bruce is back on the podcast, and this time he’s fresh off the Mammoth 200 — 200+ miles through the high country of the Eastern Sierras. From long stretches of soul-sucking gravel to alpine climbs and a thunderstorm finish that tested every ounce of grit, Chad takes us inside what it really takes to finish a race like this at age 52. We talk about how his training has shifted with age, what gear and nutrition worked (and what didn’t), how he balances racing with life, and the mental strategies that carry him through the lows. Whether you’re looking to run your first ultra or eyeing a 200-miler yourself, there’s something here for everyone. Mentioned in this episode: Mammoth 200, Moab 240, Cocodona 250, Bigfoot 200 Recovery and training tips for ultrarunners over 50 The role of mindset, mid-race nutrition, and sleep in 200s Follow Chad: Instagram: @chadbruce78 Learn more about coaching: www.theriot.run/coaching Episode Page: www.theriot.run/chadbruce2 Hashtags: #runtheriot #ultrarunningcoach #mammoth200 #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #ultraracing #trailrunner
