49. The “Experiment of One” Mindset for Ultra Runners
Description
A lot of runners approach races like tests, whether they realize it or not. You train, prepare, and show up feeling like everything is about to be graded. Did I do enough? Am I ready? What if I blow it? In this episode, I’m sharing a completely different way to think about races, one that takes the pressure off and makes ultra running more productive and a lot more enjoyable.
Instead of seeing a race as a test you either pass or fail, I want you to see it as an experiment. Your race plan is not a script you have to execute perfectly. It is your best current hypothesis about what will work. When you start treating races this way, you stop chasing a grade and start building a body of work you can be proud of over time.
