Ileana has been diligent in her training but seems to have hit a point where some of the efforts aren't fun. We dive into why this happens and how to get around it. She also has some great training questions along the way.
Heather is running the Tahoe 100 soon and her coach Liza Howard walks her through an exercise to troubleshoot issues before they happen. Also, running on the Fourth of July and trail camp in Texas.
Chelsea has some legit reasons why running has been on the backburner but Ellie and Scott try to steer her straight and put things into perspective! For any busy runners out there, this might be the tough love you needed too! Enjoy the show!
Be the man/woman in the arena and live life daring greatly!!

A couple nights before the Dirty 30 50k in Colorado Scott hosted a little pre race dinner for some friends and Team BU teammates. They had to go answer a handful of questions while dinner was served in the Becoming Ultra studio!! Listen to those answers as well as some nonsense a few minutes before the start of the race on that Saturday morning. Thanks for listening.
Trevor ran his first ultra in Montana recently and shares the experience. We also delve into what his schedule the next few weeks will look like with legitimate efforts on each weekend. Enjoy the show!
Basic principles for food prepping include:

3- Cook and pack your meals
4- Label and freeze
5- Defrost your meal by putting it in the fridge until your ready to heat and eat.

Chelsea has been in Arizona for a little over a week now and the heat is definitely going to be an ongoing issue to figure out how to deal with in the training. Especially when she couldn't get an uninterrupted treadmill workout done. We have a little fun on the show today and try to help her get back on track after the big move! Enjoy.
Think about those times when you thought you couldn't take one more step forward because you were so exhausted...but then you did...Or that time when you were convinced that you were going to implode and pull your hair out...but then you figured out how to manage without making a big mess. Every situation that you overcome in your life builds endurance. Lets create situations to increase our endurance and become better, stronger, more hardy humans!!
