The Challenges and Lessons of Running Ultramarathons
Running 100 miles reveals four times as much about oneself compared to running 26 miles. Each level of endurance reached shows that individuals are capable of more than they initially thought. STEM professionals are well-represented in ultramarathons because these races require problem-solving skills, such as navigation and managing one's physical well-being. Navigation is a crucial skill that has become more challenging due to dependence on GPS. The Barkley Marathon, held in Eastern Tennessee, is particularly grueling due to its extreme terrain, variable climate, and absence of aid stations. The ultra marathon community is driven by the desire for personal freedom and the challenge of being among the few who finish.
