Ultra Tip Tuesday #7: The Traffic Light Decision System

Ultras aren’t usually lost because you’re not fit enough — they’re lost because of one bad decision made when you’re tired, cold, or emotional.

In this week’s Ultra Tip Tuesday, we introduce the Traffic Light Decision System: a simple framework to help you make smarter calls during long runs and race day.

Learn how to:

• Keep moving when things are green

• Monitor and manage problems early when they’re amber

• Act immediately when things turn red — no ego, no delay

This episode is all about staying calm, avoiding unnecessary stops, and knowing when stopping is the smartest move you can make.

Train smart. Race smart. Finish strong.
