No matter what your goals are as an ultrarunner, taking care of your mental health is a key part in not only improving your performance, but also keeping up your longevity in the sport. And when it comes to someone who is prioritizing their mental health in their running career, our guest today is living it out in his daily life.
Reid Burrows is a professional trail runner for Merrill and is a mental health advocate. He is striving to be one of the best trail runners in the sport, but makes sure to keep his mindset in check as he goes through the process. He also takes on lessons from when he was in a dark place in his life to help propel him forward on his running goals today as he looks to compete at the highest level.
In this episode, Reid shares how he prioritizes his mental health in his ultrarunning, his biggest keys to making progress in his running performance, and what life looks like as a professional ultrarunner.
Huge thank you to Reid for coming on the show!
