Episode Notes
Wolfie talks about the 'Goggins effect'—the need to channel inner strength and confront personal insecurities during races.
- Ultra running is increasingly seen as a social flex, similar to marathons years ago.
- Mental preparation is as crucial as physical training for ultra races.
- Runners must confront their insecurities during 100-mile races.
- The 'Goggins pill' symbolizes the need for inner strength during tough moments.
- Many runners may not be physically prepared for the demands of a 100-miler.
- Adversity in life can prepare runners for the challenges of ultra races.
