Unpack the emotional and physical rollercoaster of Mario's recent UMTB Blue Mountains ultra run. In this soulful episode, Mario and Tim dive into the highs, the unexpected lows, and the revelations that only come when you push past your perceived limits. It’s about more than just running—it’s about learning from the landscape, the people, and the challenges that shape us.

Episode Takeaways

• Mountains mirror our inner journey—you go up, you go down, but you keep moving.

• The value of community in sport: crew, family, strangers.

• When the body breaks down, the mind and heart can still carry you.

• Races are rarely about speed; they’re about story.

• Ultra running is a meditation in motion.

• The finish line is never just a place—it’s a transformation.

• Pain has a voice, and it often speaks wisdom.

• Rest and recovery are not luxuries—they’re essential.

• Support others while climbing your own mountain
