444: Kevin's Running 100 Miles...Again - Return to the Long Haul 100

Prepping for the Long Haul 100: Training, Mindset, and Fueling Strategies with KevinWith just two days to go before toeing the line at the Long Haul 100, Kevin takes us behind the scenes of his year-long build toward a 100-mile ultra marathon. In this episode, we dive into what really went into his preparation—from how his training evolved over time, to the mindset shifts that made the biggest difference, to the fueling strategies he’s using to go the distance.Kevin reflects on lessons learned from past ultras, the mistakes he didn’t repeat this time around, and how he’s learned to stay flexible when things don’t go according to plan (because in ultras… they never do). We also talk mental toughness, adapting in the moment, and why preparation is about more than just logging miles.We wrap up by sharing how you can follow Kevin’s race in real time and what to expect in our post-race recap episode once the dust (and miles) settle.00:59 Kevin's Current State and Mindset02:23 Kevin's Ultra Marathon Journey09:38 Training Insights and Adjustments24:45 Balancing Training with Life28:27 Setting Ambitious Goals31:29 Fueling Strategy for Ultra Running34:54 Training the Stomach for Endurance42:27 Mindset and Race Strategy47:39 Final Preparations and Expectations51:19 Follow the Race LiveGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.
