Description

What if the true magic of ultra running isn't crossing the finish line first, but the friendships formed along the way? Join me, Richard Gleave, as I share the heartwarming tales and connections that flourish at the back of the pack. While the front runners might chase the clock, we savor each grueling mile, the camaraderie, and the shared struggle that transforms strangers into lifelong trail buddies. From cherishing aid station snacks together to conquering brutal climbs, these experiences create bonds you won't find anywhere else. Discover practical tips to break the ice with fellow runners and learn how these friendships can make the miles fly by with motivation and support.

We get into:

• Emphasizing the back of the pack as a perfect environment for connection 
• Simple strategies for breaking the ice in conversations 
• Importance of motivation and support from trail friends 
• Maintaining connections post-race for long-lasting friendships 
• 4 Key takeaways for creating effective partnerships on the trail
