In the ZoneIn the Zone126 - Brooks Bash: 100 marathons, 100 days, lessons learnedBrooks Bash got injured at mile 6 of a 300 mile race. It sounded ridiculous, but then he mentioned he just ran 100 marathons in 100 days in the months prior.   It puts the injury in perspective, but it also begs the question: what's the point of all this? Isn't this whole ultra world just spinning out of control?   I'm curious to hear with your thoughts on the topic. Drop them in the comments.

But the fact he went through all that and still sat there smiling was incredibly humbling and inspiring.    I initially invited him on the podcast because he was a monk at one point in his life. And I was curious how that experience translated to ultra running.    Turns out this was only a small part of our conversation. The man just had a lot of wisdom to offer. Not just on running, but also on how to live life.   2024-03-121h 39In the ZoneIn the Zone106 - Steve x Kobe: Should you focus on goals or process?Do goals help or hinder your spiritual growth through running?    In today's episode, we invite you into a specific relationship to goals and process.
