Скачать или смотреть INJURIES and the Risks of Ultra Marathon Running

I recently got injured while running — something I hadn’t faced in a long time. In this video, I share what happened, how it’s affected my training and mindset, and what I’m doing to recover physically and mentally.

It finally happened — after years of running and racing ultra marathon without major setbacks (it’s been what? 4.5 years and 58 x 100 milers), I hit a wall. A significant injury which is now dragging a bit.

If you’ve ever dealt with a running injury, you’re not alone. Whether it’s a small setback or a major pause, recovery isn’t just about the body — it’s also about staying grounded, smart, and motivated.

🧠 In this video:
– What caused the injury
– How I’m managing rehab
– Tips for staying active during downtime
– What’s next for my race calendar

In this video, I open up about my running injury, how I’m managing the recovery process, and what I’m doing to stay mentally strong while I heal. I was hesitant to make this video as it is more of a personal journey, so I didn’t think it would be interesting. But, I know many others have dealt or are dealing with injury - hopefully sharing this is helpful.

But also, I was hesitant to share because haters just love telling me how bad running is for me, or that I run too much. Unlike pro runners or sponsored influencers, I’m running my Youtube channel for fun, and quite frankly, I’m simply not in the mood for haters right now. Why I would normally deserve and have to deal with haters is anyone’s guess…., but right now I don’t have any patience to deal with such low life kindly.

Anyhow, injuries suck — but they also make you appreciate even more those care-free miles. I’ll be back crushing it no question there, it’s just a matter of time for full recovery, and that road is a b***, but hey, it’s the first time I have to face something difficult.
