Thanks for that Holly, you covered everything there. I'm doing a 50k in April and will see how that goes before commiting to anything longer. I'm retiring in July so hope to have more time to train so who knows? Thanks again it's a big help. 🖖👍👊😊

Such a great video! I'm running my first 50 miler in November. I'd love 100 miles but honestly I'm scared to run in the dark and don't like the idea of running multiple days in a row so 50 milers might be it for me until I get over that haha!

Thank you Coach Holly, I love your vids. You, know it's vids like this that have me wishing I was 25 years younger, you are inspiring. I would definitely be "thinking", yes let's do that 100 miler, and I would have hired you as my Coach. The "badass" coach, who walks the walk, and who can be pushy, but yet so motivating and encouraging. For now, just know this: your vids at TRE and these vids have totally helped "this old guy" over the past 3 or so years to become much healthier. I'm always grateful for you.

Such a great coverage and perfect timing for me ! im struggling with Achilles tendon issues since my last year prep for 100k and yet still 359 days later still cannot run more than one minute without pain despite all the efforts i invested into the recovery process... also, my dad stage 4 brain and lungs cancer too right now like you had to deal with... the 100k is june 17th but ill have again this year to give up on this project im afraid to say, because the pain and also the 2 months death sentence for my dad. Maybe next year i guess again ill have a shot or for the following years... i just try to stay sane and do everything i can to heal this Achilles mess. Your video today was so refreshingly welcomed to my day and give hope for whats next for me. thanks again ! ☀💚☀

Awesome video. Full of great info and tips. Thanks. I have done the Goggins 4x4x48 once in 2021 it was wicked. Kicked my ass but like you I watch his stuff a lot and not only read his book twice but I use the audio book for some of my longer runs. My question is what 100 miler did you do?? And do you know what 100 mile ultras have the longest cut off times. I wanna finish and I will finish. I dream of one day doing western states or Leadville but living in the Midwest and still being overweight those cut off times are daunting!!! Thank you Holly

Hey Aubrey! Great question. For me personally, I like putting myself in scenarios where I’m extremely mentally tested to persevere and carry on, when everything in my body wants to quit. A classic test of mind over matter. I find that these experiences give me strength when I run into real life problems or challenges - I get to look back on how I got through the toughest moments, reminding myself I’m capable of doing so again. In other words, I use these races to practice not letting pain or discomfort determine if I quit. Hope that makes sense!

"My mind is going to give up before my body does". Lots of good stuff in this video, but that phrase is a big one! I tell people that to finish an ultra, especially a 100 miler, you have to be stubborn. I've had plenty of moments where I simply ran out of reasons to keep running. All I had left was stubbornness. I just keep telling myself "I came here to run 100 miles, and I'm going to do it". Thanks for the informative video!
