The Art of Endurance: Why Creativity Matters in Ultra-Running
Description
Most people don’t think of ultra-running as creative.
It’s numbers. It’s structure. It’s repetition.
But the best runners — the ones who stay in it for the long haul — often aren’t just tough.
They’re imaginative. Flexible. Quietly inventive.
In this episode, I explore why creativity is a powerful tool in training, racing, and staying in the game when things don’t go to plan.
From reframing long runs to adapting goals mid-race, to how we coach and train when life gets messy — this is about the art of movement, not just the metrics.
You’ll hear a few personal stories, a bit of coaching insight, and a quiet reminder that sometimes, improvisation is the real superpower.
🎧 Listen if you’ve ever had to reimagine your plan mid-run — or if you're looking for a little freedom in how you move forward.
