In this solo episode of Run the Riot, I take you through the mental and physical journey of completing the 100-mile Dreadmill Endurance Challenge. From strategizing nutrition to managing the mental toll of running in place for hours, this episode is packed with lessons for runners of all levels.
You'll hear about:
How I overcame setbacks like knee surgery to take on this indoor ultra-marathon.
The importance of mental endurance and staying focused when the finish feels far away.
My fueling strategy and how I stayed energized for 20+ hours.
Why consistency in training is key, even when circumstances aren't ideal.
Practical tips for anyone considering a treadmill ultra—or any other "crazy" running goal.
This challenge wasn’t just about logging miles; it was about testing grit, embracing discomfort, and proving that we can achieve big things, even in unconventional ways.
