Ever made the rookie mistake of racing someone else’s race instead of your own? I did during my first 50k ultra, and it taught me an invaluable lesson about the power of pacing. In this episode of the Choose to Endure, dive into the heart of what it means to truly embrace your own pace. We'll unpack strategies that help you remain focused on your unique goals and strengths, ward off burnout, and find inspiration in, rather than competition with, faster runners. By crafting a pacing plan and setting realistic expectations, you're not just crossing the finish line—you're doing it with strength and pride.
We get into:
• Emphasizing the importance of running your own race
• Discussing the harmful effect of comparison on runners
• Practical strategies to embrace your pace
• The value of a well-thought-out pacing plan
• Encouraging a positive mindset through reframed thoughts
• Sharing personal stories of triumph and lessons learned
• Highlighting the joy in the ultra running journey
• Concluding with empowering takeaways for runners.
