71. The Infinite Game: A Better Way to Approach Your Ultra Running

In this episode, I introduce one of the core philosophies behind my coaching: the concept of the infinite game. I explain why viewing ultra running as one long game, rather than a series of make-or-break races, changes everything. No single race can ever be a verdict on your ability, and changing your mindset on this lowers the fear of failure, and helps you race with more confidence, freedom, and enjoyment.When you stop treating every race like the final exam of your ultra running, you free yourself to learn from every experience, and keep growing for years to come. This episode will show you how embracing the infinite game can help you let go of unnecessary pressure, and enjoy the challenge of becoming a better ultra runner one race at a time.For full show notes, transcript PDF, and more information, visit https://susanidonnelly.com/71Connect with Susan:Instagram: instagram.com/susanidonnellyFacebook: facebook.com/susanidonnellyMentioned in this episode:Introducing: 1:1 Mental Mastery Coaching for UltrarunnersMy 1:1 Mental Mastery Coaching for Ultrarunners is a six-month coaching program where we build the mental skills experienced ultrarunners use to handle difficult races well.
