Do you ever wonder how ultra runners fuel their bodies for a 100-mile race? Join us on an exploration into the world of ultra running with special focus on Kevin's upcoming Daytona race. We delve into the importance of carb loading and hydration, discussing strategies that can help you become a physically and mentally stronger runner.
We’re not just fixating on the physical aspects of running, but also examining the mindset needed to undertake such extreme challenges. Drawing from personal experiences, we illustrate the journey to Kevin's first 100-mile attempt at the Keys 100. Guiding you through the process of setting and achieving audacious running goals, we offer insights on how to set big goals and start to go after them.
Not one to shy away from telling it like it is, we share our experiences with failed race goals and the lessons learned from them. We also discuss the importance of having a supportive community and how social media can be a powerful tool for rallying support, using the example of our Instagram drive for epilepsy awareness. So, buckle up for an inspiring journey into the world of ultra running, loaded with actionable tips and motivating stories to help you conquer your running goals.
