What do you do when everything hurts… and your mind wants to quit before your body does?

In this episode, Karen Bonnet Natraj sits down with ultramarathoner Nick Bautista to break down how to stay mentally strong in an ultramarathon when pain, fatigue, and doubt hit hardest. This isn’t generic mindset talk or motivational hype it’s a real, experience-backed conversation about what actually works inside the pain cave.

Nick shares the mental strategies ultrarunners use when things fall apart mid-race, how to manage negative self-talk, stay focused after mile 40, and avoid the mental mistakes that cause runners to slow down, spiral, or DNF. Whether you’re training for your first ultra or trying to stop repeating the same mental collapse race after race, this episode gives you practical tools you can use when everything hurts, not just when things feel good.

You can keep pushing harder physically…
or you can finally learn how elite and experienced ultrarunners control their mind when the body is under extreme stress.

If you’ve ever thought:

“My body can do this, but my mind keeps quitting”

“I panic when I think about how much distance is left”

“All the mindset advice disappears once the pain hits”

…this conversation was made for you.
