## Resource

Ultra math is something every ultrarunner does. We rely on it, we stress over it, and more often than we’d like to admit, we regret the decisions we make because of it. In this episode, I’m breaking down what ultra math actually is and why it can quietly derail your race if you’re not careful. You'll learn five strategies to take control of ultra math instead of letting it control you. From what to do before the race to how to handle calculations in the moment, these tools will help you make better decisions, stay focused, and avoid the kinds of mistakes that lead to regret later.
