From Beginner To Running Ultras in 2 Years with Sara Hole

This episode is with Bermuda-based ultra runner and coach Sara Hole. Despite being a newer runner, Sara recently finished her first ultra marathon, calling herself a “shot shooter” and crediting her coach Megan Roche and Team SWAP. While running is a relatively new passion, Sara recalls being artistic and creative for as long as she can remember, describing herself as a content creator, thoughtful, caring and conscientious person. In this episode we talk about: -from unathletic to ultra runner in 2 years: catching the running bug -how running has benefited Sara’s self-confidence and whole life -going all in on coaching: advice for beginner runners -reframing ADHD as a superpower -team SWAP: coaching, community, cheerleading Follow Sara on Instagram @saralovesrunning and For The Long Run @forthelrpod  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/forthelongrun/support  Past guests on For The Long Run include: 177.
