About this episode
Lottie Brinks is back on the Everyday Ultra Podcast, and this one goes way deeper than just race results.In this episode, Lottie shares how mountain biking has become a huge part of her life — not as a way to build fitness, but as a way to sharpen her mind, improve her confidence, and help her show up better in running and in life. We dive into the connection between fear and performance, how learning high-risk skills can translate to racing more freely, and why doing something purely for joy can actually make you a better ultrarunner.This is a powerful conversation about growth, presence, confidence, and the mental side of performing at a high level.In this episode, we talk about:Why mountain biking has become such a powerful complement to Lottie’s runningHow practicing fear in one sport can build confidence in anotherThe surprising connection between line choice on the bike and downhill runningWhy doing something for joy and mental stimulation can actually help performanceHow to stay present and avoid overthinking before big racesWhat Lottie has learned about risk, confidence, and trusting herself as an athleteSHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?
