56. How to Tell an Excuse From a Reason in Ultra Running
Every ultra runner worries about making the wrong call in a hard moment. Did you back off for a legitimate reason, or did you let yourself off the hook with an excuse? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important mental skills an ultra runner can build: how to tell the difference so you can stop second guessing yourself and trust your decisions.
You’ll discover two simple tests to help you tell whether you’re acting from an excuse or a valid reason. I’ll show you how to make clearer decisions, avoid the guilt and regret that come from giving in to excuses, and build the kind of self trust that allows you to train and race with greater confidence.
