We love to talk about grit in ultrarunning. Toughness. Digging deep. Pushing through. But in most cases…you don’t DNF because you’re not tough enough.

You DNF because of small decisions made when fatigue, stress, and emotion start running the show.

In this episode, I’m pulling lessons from the book Where You’ll Find Me by Ty Gagne — a powerful exploration of risk, decision-making, and how experience can sometimes work against us in high-stakes environments.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why experience doesn’t cancel risk — and how it can quietly increase it
• How ultra races fall apart through decision stacking, not one big mistake
• Why rigid plans fail when conditions change — and what flexible athletes do instead
• The hardest calls in an ultra: when to slow down, pivot, or walk away
• How fatigue narrows judgment — and how to train decision-making, not just fitness

Enjoy!

In this episode, I’m talking about the part of training that no spreadsheet can prepare you for — the blank space between the lines of your plan where uncertainty, second guessing, and mental load tend to creep in.

We’ll dig into:

• why having a solid training plan is only the starting point
• what actually causes runners to keep searching for a “better” plan
• why effort alone doesn’t resolve the discomfort that shows up in longer-distance training
• and how the human interacting with the plan matters more than the plan itself

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing everything right but still weren’t sure how to coach yourself through the gray areas, this episode will help you see why, without pretending there’s a one-size-fits-all fix.

Because ultra running isn’t just about execution.
It’s about learning how to think, decide, and adapt when things don’t go exactly as planned.

Procrastination isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a timing problem.

In this episode, I’m breaking down a simple rule that helps you stop overthinking, stop negotiating with yourself, and start actually doing the things you say you want to do—whether that’s drinking more water, getting more steps, starting strength work, or training for an ultra.

We’ll talk about:

• Why we get stuck between thinking and doing
• How to close the gap before overthinking takes over
• Why starting small is the secret to follow-through
• How repetition builds confidence (and momentum)
• Why accountability matters more than willpower

If you tend to put things off until they feel heavy - or abandon them altogether - this episode will help you build the skill of following through.

Think the thought.
Do the thing.
