The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Why the pain cave quiets PTSD
Andrew and Gary discuss how extreme distance running silences intrusive thoughts and trains mental resilience under stress.
How does someone run 100-mile weeks for 300 consecutive weeks without destroying their body? Today, I’m with Andrew Glaze to unpack the recovery protocols and biological strategies that make ultra endurance possible. You’ll learn actionable insights on recovery, nutrition timing, and what biomarkers actually matter when you’re pushing your body to extremes.
