Ep. 306 - Drink the Egg Whites (Metaphorically): Why Weird Training Works for Ultrarunners

---

Season 1 Episode 306

---

I watched a guy at my gym casually drink raw egg whites straight from the carton.  No shame. No hesitation. Zero concern for what anyone else thought.

Was it gross? Yes.
Was it also kind of impressive? Also yes.

And weirdly enough… it’s the perfect metaphor for ultra training.

In this episode, we’re talking about why the “weird” things you do in training often make complete sense for your goals—even if they look ridiculous to everyone else. Because ultra training isn’t about looking normal. It’s about doing what actually works.

We’ll dig into:

• Why caring what other people think about your training is holding you back
• The difference between smart weird and random internet nonsense
• How to break big, scary ultra goals into simple, doable steps
• What actually matters when you’re training for your first (or farthest) ultra
• Why confidence comes from sticking to your plan—not copying someone else’s

If you’ve ever worried about looking silly, overthought whether you’re “doing it right,” or felt tempted to chase flashy training trends… this episode is for you.

So yeah.
Drink the egg whites.
Metaphorically.
