The Ultramarathon Mindset: Trail Talk

By: Eric Deeter
  • Summary

  • Trail runners talk freely about almost anything while we're out running. The stories we share can be deeply personal, embarrassing, and profound . . . and sometimes all of these qualities rolled into one. One thing we have in common is a drive to keep moving forward. "Relentless forward progress" is the advice given to anyone trying to run their first ultramarathon. No matter what happens, keep moving forward until you finish or can't go any farther. Some people say that life is a marathon not a sprint. But I think life is an ultramarathon. The stories you will hear on this podcast should inspire you to go after your own epic adventures and keep moving forward to your goals. The early episodes of this podcast were recorded on a weekly Facebook LIVE at The Ultramarathon Mindset Facebook page.

  • Ep. 144: Running and Renewal - Renita Pace Kallevig
    May 26 2023

    Running is great for keeping both your body and your mind feeling great. But sometimes you need to take some time to look at how you are really doing inside yourself. And sometimes you will get an "aha" breakthrough when you spend some time working on what is inside of you.

    My friend, Renita, joins me this episode to talk about running long distances, being in the woods, and personal transformation.
