48. What Ultra Runners Can Learn from Olympic Champion Eileen Gu
Description
What if the key to running your best race is not training harder, but training your mind? When things get tough deep into an ultra, the real challenge is not your legs. It is the thoughts in your head and how you respond to them.
In this episode, I share what ultra runners can learn from Olympic champion Eileen Gu. She approaches her mind the same way she approaches her sport, as something she studies, tinkers with, and improves over time. If you have ever tried to distract yourself from negative thoughts during a race or wished you could just get out of your head, this episode will show you a different path.
