My 6 Biggest Ultramarathon Mistakes

Trail Talk by Rock Creek Runner - A podcast by Doug Hay | Trail and Ultra Running Advice | Training Tips and Strategies

Last week I got a tweet from a listener with what I thought was a simple question: "What was your biggest ultramarathon mistake, and what did you learn from it?" Thinking it would make for a good topic for Trail Talk, I sat down to decide what my biggest mistake had been. As it turns out, I've had many ultra-sized ultramarathon mistakes, and it was impossible to just pick one. So in today's episode, I'm sharing not just 1, but 6 of my biggest race day mistakes, what I learned from them, and most importantly, how you can avoid making those mistakes yourself.
