Wasatch 100 Race Recap W/Josh Bryant | S2E10

Josh Bryant shares his story about running the Wastach 100 for the first time this year. He had a goal to finish in under 20 hours! Unfortunately, Josh did not reach his ‘A’ goal…or even his ‘B’ goal! BUT, he got his ‘C’ goal of finishing the race which makes him an elite athlete in our eyes! Josh said he just didn’t feel quite right during this race which often happens to runners! Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what “went wrong.” These are the things Josh learned from his experience:-Spend more time in high elevation for a high elevation race (race specific training!)-Eat solid foods sooner (Josh didn’t eat solid foods until the late afternoon of his run. He ate gels up until that point)-Carry a “fun” food with you for an uplift when you are feeling down. Josh’s “fun” food is chili fries!Even thought Josh soon knew he wasn’t going to reach his goal, he never stopped and never doubted that he’d finish this grueling race! I think we can all learn a lesson here…To not give up when things don’t go according to plan! Follow Josh Bryant here: @runnerboy3118Listen to his first episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7ft1baf9N0CWOPb1gy3F0j?si=0ca9f23bcc314a14 *Message us through our Instagram page with any of your ultrarunning questions and we’d be happy to answer them for you or ask one of our guests for you!Instagram: @trialto100
