Brooks Bash got injured at mile 6 of a 300 mile race. It sounded ridiculous, but then he mentioned he just ran 100 marathons in 100 days in the months prior.   It puts the injury in perspective, but it also begs the question: what's the point of all this? Isn't this whole ultra world just spinning out of control?   I'm curious to hear with your thoughts on the topic. Drop them in the comments. How Brooks still managed to finish this race, what learned from running 100 marathons in 100 days, and his motivation for getting into these crazy challenges is what we focus on in this one.

Turning pro lands you in this funny place. It gives you both more time and pressure to train.    So, how do you make sure the pressure doesn't outweigh the time aspect?    Today, Alyssa shares how her eagerness to show herself as a pro backfired, how it lead to DNF'ing instead of shining, and what she learned from it.    I wish you an insightful episode. 

Today we tried to talk about principle/provocation 3 in our 4 part series…but we didn't get to it.    Instead of talking about the potential of running free from "assumptions", we got carried away talking about how to apply the "no judgement" and "no expectations" principle.    Enjoy the episode.
