Our host had an experience on the treadmill and the same day found some science to support it.  Is fatigue totally in your head?  Also, DNFing is such a daunting concept.  Most of us have been there or will be one day but what about focusing on the startline and letting the cards fall where they may.

Enjoy this episode of the Becoming Ultra show!

Recovery week!  Steven has one coming up and we dive in a bit more on the why and how of recovery as it pertains to the bigger picture of training for a first ultra!   Learn more at www.becomingultra.com.

My First Ultra is all about sharing stories of the first ultra our guest ever ran.  Some glorious feats and some sloppy cry fests.  Either way, you are bound to learn something from you peers on the trails.  

Another HO Show (Hosts Only). Tory and Arielle talk about the biology behind coming down from the highs after a goal race.

Their show, Ultra Dirt, is featured on the Athlete On Fire Network!

Steven has run a new longest run.  Liza just got back from pacing at Badwater, a grueling 135 miles that start in Death Valley and goes to Mt. Whitney.  We talk about having kids at events, cramping, and other basic training concepts for first time ultra runners!
