Sponsor Kevin's 100 mile race by clicking here.Join us as we accompany our co-host, Kevin, on his vigorous journey to conquer the Daytona 100, a monumental 100-mile race in Florida. Not only does this episode offer a breathtaking exploration of stamina and benevolence, but it also illuminates how Kevin's ambitious venture raises awareness and support for those living with epilepsy during National Epilepsy Awareness Month. See endurance running in a new light as we dissect the process of preparing for ultra races, using Kevin's journey as our guide. We'll shed light on the significance of a robust base before embarking on ultra races, the mental and physical hurdles of racing against the clock at each aid station, and Kevin's goal of clocking 200 miles monthly for a year. You'll appreciate how his objectives have evolved throughout his training cycles and how he buckled down for the race in the last four months. From hydration to training at varied times of the day, from fueling strategies to weather prep, we've got you covered. We highlight the critical role strength training plays and discuss potential issues that might surface during a 100-mile race. Remember, it's not merely about crossing the finish line, but the journey and dedication that lead up to it, and the noble causes it underpins. As we wrap up, we tap into the mental fortitude required for a 100-mile race and how to manage the fears that come with it. Kevin's tale is not only about endurance but also about empathy, and that's a race worth running.Sponsor Kevin's 100 mile race by clicking here.
