What would make someone willingly run a 50K on a treadmill... with 10,000 feet of climbing?In this solo episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the hardest training days I've ever done in some time!!This wasn't just about proving I could do something difficult. It was a strategic overload session as I build toward my the Dreadmill Challenge 100-mile race, and I wanted to see what it would really be to run a lot of vert on the treadmill.I break down the entire run, including:Why I decided to take on a 50K with 10,000 feet of vert on a treadmillHow I paced the effort over 7½ hoursNutrition, hydration, and fueling strategiesWhat I learned about mental toughness and embracing boredomThe biggest challenges I faced, including a tight hamstringHow sessions like this can prepare you for long ultras without spending all day in the mountainsThis episode isn't really about the treadmill.It's about choosing to do hard things on purpose, trusting the process, and finding confidence in the work long before race day arrives.Whether you're training for your first ultra or your tenth, I hope this conversation inspires you to think differently about your training and about what you're capable of.Find my Personal IG: @itslizmyersPodcast IG: @tribeofrunnersFor EASY ACCESS to all the Link HERE Check out Everyday Ultra Website for races and coaching HERE
