About this episode
We love to talk about grit in ultrarunning. Toughness. Digging deep. Pushing through. But in most cases…you don’t DNF because you’re not tough enough.You DNF because of small decisions made when fatigue, stress, and emotion start running the show.In this episode, I’m pulling lessons from the book Where You’ll Find Me by Ty Gagne — a powerful exploration of risk, decision-making, and how experience can sometimes work against us in high-stakes environments.In this episode, we talk about:Why experience doesn’t cancel risk — and how it can quietly increase itHow ultra races fall apart through decision stacking, not one big mistakeWhy rigid plans fail when conditions change — and what flexible athletes do insteadThe hardest calls in an ultra: when to slow down, pivot, or walk awayHow fatigue narrows judgment — and how to train decision-making, not just fitnessEnjoy!?
