Running 406 Miles in a Month: My Journey and Challenges #20

In this special solo episode of the Ain't Dead Yet podcast, I reflect on personal milestones and answer your questions. August was a game-changer—30 days, 406 miles, and a half-marathon daily. It was a challenge that tested me physically, mentally, and spiritually. I’ll share how I tackled it with a solid training plan, faith, and support from my coach, Matt Johnson. We’ll also revisit lessons from past ultras, what drives me to keep pushing, and what’s ahead: the Brazos Bend 100, the Rocky Raccoon 100, and an exciting April challenge in Roanoke to fight addiction stigma. This marks a new chapter in my fitness journey, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.     00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:26 The August Challenge: 406 Miles in a Month 04:40 The Mental and Physical Struggles of Running 10:28 The Why Behind the Challenge 13:46 The Journey to Ultra Marathons 17:53 Training and Coaching Insights 23:03 Upcoming Races and Future Plans 30:14 Conclusion and Listener Engagement   Connect with Trip Instagram | / https://www.instagram.com/tripison_/ Ain't Dead Yet Podcast IG | / https://www.instagram.com/adyatx/
