Hans Troyer joins us on the Everyday Ultra Podcast after an incredible year that includes a Black Canyon 100K course record and a third-place finish at CCC. But this conversation goes far beyond race results. Hans opens up about bouncing back from a devastating DNF, learning to race unfamiliar terrain, finding the balance between aggression and patience, and staying hungry without losing sight of why he runs in the first place.
You'll learn:
• How to turn a painful race into momentum
• Why being a student of the sport can change your racing
• Finding the line between pushing hard and staying controlled
• The role fueling plays in sustaining high effort
• Why consistency beats constantly reinventing your training
• Building confidence without losing humility
• Staying motivated when progress gets uncomfortable
• How to keep improving without losing the joy of running
