7: Is This Pain or Just Discomfort?

  • Summary

  • “This is what success feels like.”

    What do you tell yourself when the tank is empty, the legs are screaming, and every option to quit is on the table?

    In this episode of Nine to 100, I share the story of a brutal long run in Sedona with my buddy Kevin — a run that was supposed to be chill but turned into a four+ hour grind on fatigued legs.

    I dive into the mental side of pushing through discomfort, the difference between pain and fatigue, and how true success often feels terrible in the moment.

    Whether you're training for your first ultra or just trying to show up when it’s hard, this one's for you.

    👉 Listen, reflect, and let me know:
    What’s your mantra when the going gets tough?
    Drop a comment on the episode. I’d love to feature a few on a future pod!
