Monday Mindset: Velvet-Covered Brick

The Ultramarathon Mindset: Trail Talk

In 2019, the “last man standing” at Big's Backyard Ultra was Maggie Guterl .

She ran for 60 hours straight. She ran a total of 250 miles.

Some so-called experts have asked how women seem able to compete head-to-head with men in ultra distances of 100 miles or more.

I suspect most of these conversations are by men.

And here I am, a man about to offer an opinion on this topic.

I believe that women excel at ultramarathons because of feminine energy.

I’m going to talk about a quality of feminine energy I’ve never heard anyone talk about. I call this the velvet-covered brick.
