17 Things We Wish We Knew Before Running Our First Ultramarathons

Trailrunning through a forest at beautiful sunshine

Thinking about running your first ultramarathon? You won't regret it, we promise. But…

There are a few things you should probably know first. Actually, there are seventeen things.

In this week's episode, Matt and I think back on what it was like training for our first ultramarathonsthe hangups, frustrations, and advice that could have saved us many headaches.

All with the hope that you don't make some of the same mistakes we did.

Here's what we talk about in this episode:

  • Switching from roads to trails.
  • The long training run.
  • Does running an ultra make you a worse runner?
  • Focusing on the downhills (and learning how to walk).
  • The beautiful curse of finishing your first ultramarathon.
