180. What I Learned Running Solo for 12 Hours

Recently, I completed a self-supported, solo 12-hour run. I’ve always wanted to do a 12-hour event, but I could never really find a race that spoke to me. So, I decided to take things into my own hands and do it myself! In this episode of the podcast, I share what I learned running solo for 12 hours – what prompted me to want to run alone for so long, how I approached training, how I fueled during the event, and some interesting lessons I learned along the way. If you’ve ever considered doing an ultramarathon, this episode is for you. Also, if you have no desire to ever do an ultramarathon, you’ll still get a lot out of this episode because a lot of the training and fueling principles apply to races of many different distances.
