Description

In this episode of the Tribe of Runners podcast, host Liz Myers (thats me) sits down with Adam Williams, an accomplished ultra runner who’s tackled MULTIPLE 200-mile races and continues to push the boundaries of endurance and mindset.

Adam opens up about his journey into ultra running, the lessons learned through adversity, and how a serious injury- caused by a goat out on an FKT attempt, and recovery reshaped his relationship with the sport.

Together, we explore the deeper side of ultra running. The joy of exploration, the power of community, and the mental strength that keeps runners moving through the highs and lows of every race. From volunteering at events to chasing new goals, Adam’s story reminds us that ultra running isn’t just about miles on the trail. It’s about the people, places, and perspectives gained along the way.


Key Takeaways:

  • Running is the perfect excuse to explore and travel.
    Building endurance takes patience, purpose, and persistence.
  • Injuries can transform how we approach training and gratitude.
  • Community and connection make every race more meaningful.
  • The mental game matters just as much as the miles.
  • Recovery, reflection, and setting new goals keep the passion alive.


Whether you’re training for your first ultra or your tenth 200-miler, this conversation is a powerful reminder of why we run. It's for the challenge, the growth, and the adventure that comes with every step.


Thank you so much Adam for taking the time to share your story on the podcast!
