This is what I've named a little mental trick that got me through the JFK 50 mile ultra marathon back in November. What tricks do you use? Hit me up on IG , would love to hear them!

My first ultra was a 50K in September. Spoiler alert: I won my age group!

Rain, rain go away?

Stop talking, brain.

Kylexandr Holin, also known as Organic Ironman ( @organicironman ) is one of the first endurance athletes I started following online. Seeing him go from half Ironman, to full Ironman has been incredible and talking with him for about an hour about the triathlete lifestyle was SUPER interesting. I really dig his outlook and how he approaches the sport. Hopefully you will too!

What waits on the other side of 26.2 miles? I decided to find out.

I may have met "future me" at the track.

Does OBX really have a marathon? No. But I did one anyway. Let's talk about it.

This episode airs on November 28. That means Mark is running 28 miles today. Tomorrow he'll run 29. The next day? 30. Mark Dowdle is attempting to become the FIRST EVER person to complete the Calendar Club 365 Challenge -- where runs the same number of miles as the day of the month, every month, for one year. I've been following Mark on Instagram for some time now -- you should too, check...

When I think about what I'm grateful for, this life lesson stands at the top of the list.

When we choose to do hard things, it makes handling the hard things we do not choose MUCH easier.

John is one of our OG guests here at Relish The Journey. You can find him back in Season 1, Episode 8, circa 2018. We caught up with him to learn more about his journey into the ultra community, what he's running from and towards, and why he continues to log the miles.

Race like a champion.

Training your hardest every single week? It's time to rethink your running strategy.

Sometimes we don't feel the growth happening in the middle of all the training.

These Pittsburgh deer don't mess around.

Corona has the right idea -- channeling that beach mindset is a super power.

My first marathon was almost entirely during a downpour. At the time, it really messed with my head. Now, I LOVE running in the rain. Listen to why.

Some more about what prompted me to reignite Relish The Journey and focus it on running.

No one has the time. We have to create the space and prioritize what is important.

Season 5, starts now. Tune in as we pivot Relish The Journey to go all-in on running. Specifically endurance running. Since you've last heard from me, I've run three marathons and one ultramarathon -- about to make that two ultra marathons. Our guests this season will have run a minimum of 26.2 miles in a race and we're going to unpack their running journeys and how all that training t...
