The Mindset To Break A 100-Mile Record - Zach Bitter

Zach Bitter is an ultramarathon runner and coach who held world records for the 100-mile run and the 12-hour run.
Understanding what it takes to run an ultramarathon is one thing, but doing it at a world record pace is something else. I wanted to find out what the mindset of an ultra runner can teach the rest of us about resilience, dedication and commitment.
Expect to learn the biggest mistakes that runners make when taking on a long distance, how Zach copes with the pain when things get hard, the best intra-event nutrition he's found, how to deal with negative self-talk, whether he's tempted to do a Back Yard Ultra and much more...

As someone who would struggle to run to the bus stop I am impressed.

[@phillipsnichole2857]

Same.

[@treytheriot]

It all starts with walking just put one foot in front of the other

Zach was an awesome coach to me and an amazing person and athlete. Thank you for this episode!!

[@greggcoull7162]

With my own ultra next month this was a very timely and useful chat!

[@dino_rider7758]

No offense but curious to see what'll happen when Kenyans and Ethiopians take up Ultras...

[@roejogan8247]

Very interesting question. If price money goes up in ultras, it will be interesting for sure

[@kapelinlamar7759]

Great vid, and that coming from an amateur runner… never quite know what it is that fuels certain people. but running is just so simple, you either do it or you don’t.

[@kevinfogarty5081]

How about “the mindset to get outta bed after 50” 🤣

[@dino_rider7758]

[@gatlinholland6453]
