In this heartening episode, we catch up with Jo Stumm amidst her journey to the 'Gone Nuts' Ultra Adventure Run. Despite the twists and turns of her training, Jo shares a candid reflection on the challenges she's faced, including battling illness and juggling a demanding work schedule, which slightly derailed her training plans.
Jo opens up about the mental hurdles of preparing for such a demanding event, expressing a mix of anxiety and determination. Her story is a testament to the reality that life doesn't always follow our training schedules, yet the spirit to persevere shines through.
With wisdom and humour, Jo and Michelle discuss the universal experience of feeling "underdone" before a big race, offering comfort in the reminder that most participants, save for the elites, share this sentiment. They explore the importance of self-care, especially as intensive training can take its toll on one's immune system, and the delicate balance between pushing oneself and acknowledging the body's signals for rest.
As Jo looks forward to her final long run and the tapering phase, there's an air of excitement for the race day and a deep appreciation for the journey thus far. This episode is not just about the physical aspect of training but the mental resilience and community support that make the ultra-running experience truly enriching.
