Do this when you hit the wall! / TRAIL

The Hard Way w/ Joe De Sena

Runners, when you hit the wall, Meghan Hicks suggests these two tips to push through. She would know, she’s run over 60 trail races and ultras, won and won the Marathon des Sables. She's is the managing editor for IRunFar.com. She’s also the author of Where the Road Ends: A Guide to Trail Running. Today she tells Spartan Trail host Mauri Pagliacci about her experience at Nolan’s 14 where she's set multiple records. Back in the 2000’s, Meghan quit her first 100-mile race. It’s hard to believe – even Mauri Pagliacci was shocked to hear the news. Meghan explains why she quit and how to push-through those all too common rough patches. In this episode we cover: #1 - When Meghan hit the wall at hour 13 of a 50-hour race, and how a few slices of pizza got her over the hump. #2 - The two things that will get you through the ‘wall’. One is obvious, the other is not. #3 - Why Meghan quit her first 100-mile race and how to avoid bowing out of races.
