34 - Cave Update & Importance of the Long Run

In this episode of the Ultra Crewed Podcast, Becca and Jon swap stories about their weekend — from crawling through caves to tackling long training runs. They get into the real stuff: how ultra running isn’t just about physical endurance, but about trusting your body, dealing with tough races, and figuring out what works (and doesn’t). They talk about mental strategies, why nutrition matters more than you think, and how bad races can actually teach you the most. There’s also some solid advice on foot care and gear that ultra runners will totally relate to. Mixed in with all the running talk are funny little moments, like reminiscing about junior high skating rinks. It’s a down-to-earth, honest look at how running, like life, is full of ups, downs, and lessons you didn’t ask for but definitely needed.
