Ultramarathon Lessons for Life: Discipline, Preparation, and Progress in the Dark with Brian Recore
In this episode of Drink Coffee. Do Cool Stuff., I sit down with longtime friend and ultra-endurance athlete Brian Recore. With more than a hundred ultra marathons under his belt, including 50+ 100-milers and the infamous Badwater, Brian has learned lessons that apply far beyond running.
We explore:
- Why discipline always outlasts motivation
- How invisible progress is made by continuing forward, even in the dark
- The power of preparing your answers to life’s hard questions before they’re asked
- Time as the only true currency, and how to spend it with intention
- Faith, baptism, and the courage to live with purpose
Brian’s story is about more than running, it’s about the mindset of preparation and resilience. Just like an ultramarathon, life demands that you keep moving forward when it’s hardest, and that you already know how you’ll respond before the questions come. Because isn’t life just the ultramarathon we all are running?
