Journey Races? Embrace Adventure, Self-Reliance & Ultra Challenges

Imagine embarking on an ultra marathon where the finish line is not just a destination but a self-navigated and supported journey through breathtaking landscapes, and camaraderie trumps competition. Join me, Richard Gleave, as I unravel the allure of journey races—those epic point-to-point adventures that redefine traditional racing. On this episode of Choose to Endure, I share personal tales from the trails and explore the mindset needed to tackle these self-sufficient expeditions. Discover practical tips for preparing for such adventures, where aid stations are non-existent, and self-reliance becomes your most trusted companion. We'll delve into stories of grit and resilience, like the Swammie Shuffle 200, contrasting it with more supported races and celebrate the friendships forged along the way.Let's also take a moment to talk about the beating heart of ultra running—community.
