Episode 66- ‘Pressure is a Privilege’- World 50km Treadmill record holder (2:42:51)- Tyler Andrews - a podcast by Dane Simon Verwey

Today, I really enjoyed getting deep into the nerdy running details of how US elite Hoka one one sponsored marathoner/ultra runner Tyler Andrews prepares for a 50km race! Tyler is a 2:15 marathoner, was the 2016 Doha 50km World Championship Silver medalist, is the current US 50 mile National champ and has the fastest known time for 50km on the treadmill (2:42:51 June 2020). He is also a coach at Chaski Endurance Collective and has a fantastic running blog at www.strivetrips.org. We open the chat discussing how he has used goal setting to continually challenge himself and stay excited about his running and what he’s building for! How he has relished the COVID19 pandemic period to ‘re-set’ and get healthy. Tyler also details the 3 ‘free’ worldwide Chaski challenge virtual running events he has set up during this pandemic period for the running world. In this chat I loved listening to how Tyler steals his mind to run 50kms on the treadmill and what strategies he uses to cope with pre-race nerves.
