Summary
You're deep into a race. Your legs hurt, your energy is gone, and every step feels harder than the last. Your body is telling you it's done, so it's done... right? Not necessarily. One of the biggest mistakes ultra runners make is assuming they know what their body is saying when they're actually listening to something else entirely. In this episode, I break down why so many runners struggle to know when to push and when to back off during a race. You'll discover how to tell the difference between what your body is actually communicating and the story your brain is telling about it, and how to build a stronger relationship with your body so you can race with more confidence.
