Ultra Running Is Stupid- A Debate

from The Ostrich Running Podcast · host Nick Meraz

Ultra running is stupid… or is it?In this episode, Nick and Jarett go head-to-head on the question most people are already thinking: why would anyone run 100 miles?Jarett takes the position that ultra running makes absolutely no sense—voluntarily suffering for hours with no real payoff. Nick pushes back, breaking down what actually happens when you’re deep into a run and why people keep coming back despite how hard it gets.This conversation dives into the psychology of endurance, the reality of mile 70, and whether pushing yourself this far is growth… or just unnecessary suffering.It’s honest, it’s uncomfortable, and it doesn’t try to pretend ultra running makes sense.Ostrich Running SiteAlethia Sensor- RUNSCARES10 For 10% OFF
