**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Zach Bitter. He's an ultra marathon runner and coach who held the world records for the 100 mile and the 12 hour run. Understanding what it takes to run an ultra marathon is one thing, but doing it at a world record pace is something else. I wanted to find out what the mindset of an ultra runner can teach the rest of us about resilience, dedication and commitment. I expect to learn the biggest mistakes that runners make when taking on a long distance, how Zach copes with the pain when things get hard, the best intra event nutrition he's found, how to deal with negative self-talk, whether he's tempted to do a backyard ultra and much more.
