In this episode, we talk A LOT about strength training for a 100 mile race, we emphasize the importance of being an ATHLETE, not just a runner, and we talk about what it's like to run a 100 mile race WITH someone. Bryan Ellis has some great insights as he's completed many adventure runs, two 100s, and countless obstacle course races. His attitude amazes us, as it seems he never lets failure or obstacles get him down...He just adjusts and keeps moving forward with excitement! This information is golden if you are looking to complete your first 100 mile race! Bryan's advice for a beginner:-Don't forget tempo walking!____________________________________________________________________________________________Contact Bryan:Website: https://runbryanrun.com/Website profile page, scroll down:  https://runbryanrun.com/contact/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpnrUyWzx1rjhHKH0w1kAnwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runbryanrun/?hl=enUltrapacer: https://ultrapacer.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwp6CkBhB_EiwAlQVyxacwml3g35KY4YQ-tBRLnZYUxim0tWUkkCIZkCeKUZM8_2l_ZQGkDhoCdT4QAvD_BwE___________________________________________________________________________________________~Leave us a review!~Click here to leave a review on appleClick here to rate us on Spotify____________________________________________________________________________________________Other Links:Support Trail to 100 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/905920/supportCoaching for beginner ultrarunners: @thepinetreerunnerUtah real-estate agent who helps runners find a home near running trails: Jacob Bateman | Exit Realty Affinity | Bountiful, UT Real Estate | 385-314-1016 (ihouseelite.com)Self-Defense Course for runners: Run Without Fear | Melody Bateman's School (teachable.com)Our Instagram page: Melody and Jacob Bateman (@trailto100) • Instagram photos and videosJoin our beginner trail running community on Facebook: Trail to 100 | FacebookSupport the show
