## Resource

What if the biggest thing holding you back in ultrarunning isn't your fitness, your training, or your mindset, but a set of rules you never consciously agreed to? Many of us unknowingly carry beliefs about what an ultrarunner is supposed to do, what races we're supposed to run, how much we're supposed to suffer, or what success is supposed to look like. Over time, those expectations can quietly turn a sport we love into something that feels heavy. In this episode, hear some of the most common assumptions in ultrarunning that may be stealing your enjoyment of the sport, and discover what becomes possible when you stop chasing someone else's version of ultrarunning and start defining your own.
