Ultrarunning to Improve Mental Health with Ali To

Running can be so much more than running. It can be a solace to heal, to get better, and to find peace. For Ali To, who has conquered multiple races, including a 200+ mile ultra marathon, this is one of the many reasons why she runs. 

Ali To is an ultrarunner, content creator, and business owner who has completed multiple ultras and shares her journey of how she transformed her own mental health through ultrarunning.

In this episode, Ali shared her incredible journey of personal transformation and her battles with depression, anxiety, and overcoming low points in her life all through ultrarunning. We delved into how she turned her first DNF into a stepping stone towards becoming a successful ultra runner. 

Ali also talks about how she uses ultrarunning as a vehicle for introspection and self-improvement in her life.

We also discussed her rigorous training regimen for upcoming 4, 100 mile races all within 4 months and how she never backs down when life throws a failure her way.

Huge thank you to Ali for coming on the show!
