“It’s not about ‘how FAST can I do this?’, it’s ‘CAN I do this?’, even if you have already done it before.”

Today’s post is an exciting one and something I feel very privileged to share. It’s an interview with ultramarathon runner Koby Nelson, who has experience running races from half marathons to 50 milers. Not only has he run countless races, he’s managed to win some! When it comes to long distance running and trail running, Koby knows his stuff. And while he admits that he didn’t exactly have the smoothest entrance into long distance racing, he’s open to sharing the barriers that took him by surprise so that you know what to expect.

Thinking about running an ultramarathon or just running longer distance? From food to gear, Koby provides helpful insights to help novices and even seasoned long distance runners get prepared to have the best run of their lives.
