You Don't Have to Kill Yourself to Be an Ultra Runner | S2E12

Jacob and Melody share their experiences running Deadhorse 2021.

Life updates:
Melody is doing medical massage in Ogden UT (contact her here to make an appointment: www.melodybateman.biz)
Jacob started a flooring business. Contact him through our Instagram page @trailto100 to get a quote.

Main Takeaways:
-If you don't feel like running...Just force yourself to put on your running shoes and run anyways! Give yourself permission to turn around early if you still don't feel like running after that!
-Do what is best for you, don't compare yourself to other runners. (Melody dropped her 50mile to the 50k, Jacob decided to run the 50miler even though his training wasn't as good as he wanted it to be. They both made the best decisions for themselves.)
-You don't have to kill yourself to be an ultra-runner! Jacob finished his race without running more than 20 miles during the training season! (Take into consideration that Jacob has been running ultra-distances for about 3 years now...But you can build up to that point too if you want to!)
