#40 400 Laps. 100 Miles. More Than Just a Race | Sean Rhodes

There are hard things… and then there’s choosing to run 100 miles in circles.Sean Rhodes is getting ready for the Stoney 100, 400 laps around a track, but this isn’t just about distance. It’s about purpose. It’s about pushing into uncomfortable places and seeing what’s on the other side.We talk about what it actually takes to train for something like this, the mental lows that hit in the middle of an ultra, and what happens when you come out of it stronger than you expected. But this goes deeper than running.Sean shares the path that led him here  from a rough stretch earlier in life, to finding discipline through bodybuilding, to building something meaningful through running. We get into chasing big goals, balancing life outside of training, and why sometimes the hardest things we choose end up teaching us the most.This one isn’t just about a race. It’s about the kind of person you become while chasing something that big.Chapters00:00 The Stoney 100 - More Than a Race08:08 Training for 100 Miles on a Track10:05 Building The Stoney 10016:37 2:44 Marine Corps Marathon to BPN 50 Miler 6 Days Apart22:05 Can You Do It ALL?
