Your time is sacred. If you are unmotivated to run or the goal doesn’t excite you, it’s a waste of your time. Let’s work together to try to find out what does excite you, in sport and in life.

I have a theory I call the “bucket theory”, and I believe it applies to ultrarunning. The energy you commit to your social life, family, training, and hobbies are all related, and you only have so much energy every day. When you pour a lot from one bucket, you may not be able to pour much from the others. If you’re going to train rigorously for these races, you may have to make some sacrifices in other areas of your life. They don’t have to be extreme sacrifices, but it will shift your overall energy significantly.
