How to Make Your Training Less Stressful to Run Better with Tommy Lewis
About this episode
Tommy Lewis discusses how to make ultra running training less stressful and more effective.
Ultra running has a funny way of exposing the difference between what you think makes you better and what actually does. Tommy Lewis gets into the less obvious parts of becoming a better ultra runner—from building confidence before you feel ready, to understanding your limits, staying healthy enough to keep doing this for years, and knowing when your obsession with improvement has gone too far. Tommy opens up about his own evolution as a runner, including the lessons that came from years of injuries, and difficult races. In this episode you'll learn: • Why confidence is built through action—not waiting until you feel ready • How to recognize when you’re doing too much • What your watch might be telling you that you don’t actually need to know • The overlooked skill that can make a huge difference late in an ultra • How to approach training with the long game in mind • What “Run the Runnable” actually looks like in practice • Why becoming a better runner might have less to do with running SHOW LINKS Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching…
