How do you finish an Ultra?

Adapt from the Greeks. Start at the bottom and move upwards as it gets tougher.


  1. Body need training.

  2. Mind takes care of the Body.

  3. Spirit is the most critical. The Body and Mind give you their opinion to quit, but your Spirit needs to take charge.


How do you finish an Ultra? We spend most of our time preparing our body. Our mind is constantly in the present thinking how to take care of our body. Star Wars was right with "May the Force be with you."


There are many reasons WHY: To reach a goal. To push beyond our limits. To honor someone. To not disappoint someone. To prove you can. To brag. To have no regrets. To do the "impossible." To feel accomplished. To see if you can.

The WHY needs to reduce suffering to just pain. The WHY must be bigger than the pain.
