47: A Training Update on My First 50 km Ultramarathon
from Tales of the Town
I’m ten days away from running a 50K Spartan Ultra, and I’m not going to lie—I’m terrified. This episode is a raw, honest look at my training journey: from zero miles per week to 30+, battling illness, and managing injury... I talk about what I wish I had done differently, how I’m mentally preparing, and why even being scared means I’ve chosen the right goal. If you’re training for your first big race or just love hearing what it takes to push your limits—this one’s for you.---TIMESTAMPS00:00 – I’m Running a 50K Spartan Ultra in 10 Days04:00 – Injury History: Why I’m Not Pushing Too Hard06:37 – Running Slow First, Then Building Speed09:10 – Looking Forward10:11 – Why Being Terrified Means It’s a Good Goal11:00 – Leave Me Your Questions for the Race Recap!----#SpartanUltra#UltramarathonTraining#OCRTraining#FirstUltraMarathon#RunningJourney#FitnessGoals#SpartanRace#EnduranceAthlete#MindOverMiles#FromZeroToUltra
