Our guest really hasn't been running for that long but he has come a long way for sure. A doctors visit, lifestyle change, and move across the country has totally changed his life. Listen to get excited and inspired to run!
Thanks for listening.
Janet Patkowa ran the American River 50 for Season 2. She has had a good year and a half to reflect on the experience of running her first ultra. Much of her outlook and lifestyle has changed. What would she do different? What's next?
Hope you enjoy the show.
Wesley Trimble. This dude had me wanting to go on and on forever. His adventures are more epic than 99.9% of us, elite or otherwise. If this account of a first ultra doesn't inspire you, we give up;)
Another great story of perseverance and running long distance!
From our guest:
"I'm an American expat now based in Scotland. I completed my first ultra last week, a 50k along the Great Trossachs Path in Scotland's first national park. I actually missed the race that I was due to compete in -- the Great Tartan Skidaddle -- because on race day, I was in hospital on a drip after being rushed in by ambulance because of a blood infection due to pneumonia (ait was approaching sepsis and apparently quite dangerous). I was gutted to miss the race. I recovered well and decided to run the race route as a solo affair with a friend from my trail running crew (the Carron Valley Trail Runners) and my wife. I even spoke to the race director after I completed the route. So I did complete my first ultra, just a week later than planned."
Enjoy the show.

We have had a chance to catch up with the runners after this season but we wanted to get the coaches alone to hear what they thought about their clients, and the season as a whole. We also tease some exciting news about season 5! Coming in September.
Rebecca trained for 6 months to have an experience only a small percentage of the world can say they have tasted. It was an honor to follow her story. Hear what she took away from it all!
We all justify why we can't or won't do something we really want. Like making more money, winning losing weight, getting faster. It doesn't matter. When we tell the world we want something but tell ourselves something else, it's time for a little tough love. We hope this helps you out of some of your default excuses!
