75. Why a Bad Stretch Doesn't Mean Your Race Is Over

In this episode, I’m breaking down the belief that once your race starts going downhill, it will keep getting worse. I explain why a few difficult miles aren’t enough to predict the rest of your race, why the lows you experience aren’t necessarily the start of a steady decline, and how this assumption can convince you that your race is over before it actually is.Learn how to replace “How am I going to do 40 more miles?” with a much more useful question: “What haven’t I tried yet?” so you can give yourself the chance to climb out of a low, keep moving forward, and discover what you’re actually capable of as an ultra runner.For full show notes, transcript PDF, and more information, visit https://susanidonnelly.com/75Connect with Susan:Instagram: instagram.com/susanidonnellyFacebook: facebook.com/susanidonnellyMentioned in this episode:Get The Ultrarunner’s Mastery Debrief Template Today!Every race gives you experience.
