A Masterclass on Mental Toughness, Pushing Potential and Running Through Walls EP 169

In the past two weeks I ran a 48 mile race and PR’ed a marathon. Your first thought is probably why or you’re crazy? Today I want to recap what I learned through both experiences and save your the trouble of going through either, unless of course you’re like me and enjoy a little crazy in your life. In the Austin marathon I finished in 3 hours and 12 minutes a 32 minute PR. The 48 mile “race” was known as the 4x4x48 David Goggins challenge where I ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours and I got to finish with Goggins himself while averaging my fastest 4 miles on miles 45 to 48 at 6:33/mile pace.

Today we look at: 

-How to push through mental and physical barriers

-The impacts challenges like these have on your body long and short term

-How you can better regulate your nervous system to perform when you need to

-The importance of going slow at times
