If you want to run your next best 100-mile race, this episode is your roadmap. Three experienced ultra running coaches break down what actually separates a strong 100-mile performance from simply surviving the distance. From training and race execution to pacing, fueling, mindset, and adapting when things don't go according to plan, this conversation is packed with practical lessons earned through both breakthrough performances and hard-fought setbacks.
Whether you're preparing for your first 100 miler or chasing a new PR, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what it really takes to perform at your highest level—before, during, and after race day.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why training for a 100 miler requires a different approach than shorter ultras.
• The biggest mistakes runners make before race day—and how to avoid them.
• How to pace, fuel, and manage your race for your strongest finish.
• The mental strategies that keep experienced ultrarunners moving when things get hard.
• What separates athletes who thrive over 100 miles from those who struggle.
• Why your first 100 doesn't have to be perfect to become your most valuable race.
• Simple mindset shifts that can help you become a stronger, more resilient ultrarunner.
If your goal is to finish stronger, race smarter, and unlock your next level in ultrarunning, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
