Manage episode 453059912 series 2581611
In this episode of Run the Riot, we reconnect with ultrarunner, coach, and all-around adventurer Ben Light. It’s been a few years since Ben first appeared on the podcast, and in that time, he’s continued to push boundaries—not only in his personal ultrarunning pursuits but also in helping others embrace challenges and discover their potential.
Ben shares invaluable insights into the power of mindset when tackling life’s toughest races—whether it’s a 200-miler or the challenges we all face daily. He discusses the lessons learned from crewing, coaching, and racing while juggling his latest ventures, including launching new trail races and his unique "crew for hire" service.
We dive into:
- The importance of finding your "why" in ultrarunning and life.
- How Ben incorporates strength training into endurance training for well-rounded performance.
- Building a supportive ultrarunning community and paying it forward.
- The launch of the Great Western Adventures race series, including epic challenges like the Old Ephraim 200.
- Balancing adventure and mindset through his coaching philosophy and personal growth.
Ben’s story and dedication to helping others will inspire you to dig deeper and pursue your dreams, whether you're on the trails or in your everyday life.
