Jamie Martin:
Superior. Okay, what does somewhat jog imply for Courtney Dauwalter?
Courtney Dauwalter:
It varies loads, however this morning I simply had time for a 40 minute jog across the neighborhood to get my blood going and greet the day, mainly.
Jamie Martin:
I really like that. I really like that. Properly, let’s get into it straight away, as a result of I do know we wish to simply introduce our listeners to you, who’s Courtney Dauwalter and the way did you get into ultrarunning? Like, what had been a few of these experiences that finally led you right here?
Courtney Dauwalter:
I grew up taking part in tons of sports activities, however fell in love with working actually early on. So, I bear in mind in seventh grade similar to feeling a lot love for a way working made my physique and mind really feel, but in addition for pushing actually exhausting in races and for getting to place in precisely as a lot effort as I needed to get in the direction of these end strains. And so, after faculty I attempted just a few street marathons, as a result of I used to be curious if I might make it 26.2 miles, and after I did, I survived them, I stumbled upon the ultrarunning world as a result of I used to be simply questioning what else was on the market that sounded too exhausting that I might attempt.
David Freeman:
Properly, let’s speak about exhausting, proper. Let’s speak concerning the mindset, the thoughts and physique connection. We have to let the viewers know that you just set two back-to-back information, proper. You set a brand new course report in, the phrase you simply used exhausting, Hardrock 100 after which three weeks after successful that you just set one other new course report on the Western States making you the primary athlete in historical past to set course information in Hardrock and Western States in the identical 12 months. So, inform us somewhat bit about these memorable moments and the way that took place.
Courtney Dauwalter:
I really feel actually fortunate to be doing this sport proper now and to be asking my physique and my mind to be placing in these massive efforts for me, and it following via and letting me do this. So, this summer season I arrange this problem of working these two actually iconic 100-mile races solely three weeks aside, simply to see how it could go, and I completed each of them. I received to share each of them with household and buddies, had so many moments alongside the best way with, like, big views and moments with my crew at support stations and actually, actually robust moments simply making an attempt to proceed pushing via. And for me that was what it was all about is like I wish to do that problem to see if I can and since I wish to accumulate these recollections to take with me via the remainder of my life.
David Freeman:
I’ve simply, I’ve received to remain proper there, although, as a result of they’re three weeks aside, 100 mile races, like stroll us via the restoration course of inside three weeks. Like, that’s what I’m making an attempt to love wrap my head round proper now. Are you able to stroll us via that?
Courtney Dauwalter:
Completely. I had no concept what I used to be doing going into this problem. I’ve by no means executed two 100-mile races three weeks aside and the best way I used to be approaching the races was I needed to depart all the things I had on every of the programs. So, I raced that first one prefer it was my solely race of the summer season, left all of it on the course after which tried to do the identical at the second. So, within the restoration it was actually lots of, like, studying as I went and simply making an attempt to tune in to my physique and my mind and my feelings, and take every day because it was.
So, it was lots of resting and sleeping and consuming, nevertheless it was additionally lots of, you understand, strolling or biking or simply making an attempt to get the blood flowing in some simpler methods than working in order that I might present up able to go for the second. I used to be most likely extra conscious of my mind than my physique and making an attempt to recharge my mind to be prepared to push once more in that second race.
Jamie Martin:
Proper. I listened to you on one other podcast, I feel it was an interview that was executed the day after the race, and so they, it was the Hardrock race I consider, and also you had talked about that, that was type of a tough race the entire approach via. Like, typically races like sure parts of it really feel somewhat bit simpler at the beginning or at totally different factors, however you had talked about, like, that was exhausting from nearly mile one, you mentioned. So, how do you, if you begin to really feel that, get on the course, get coaching, realizing even these early, early miles are exhausting, how do you progress via that, at the least initially, to know like I’ve received 99 extra of those to go? What’s that like when it feels that arduous from the beginning?
Courtney Dauwalter:
Yeah, not one of many miles got here without cost within the Hardrock 100, the second race. None of them felt that, like, stream of you understand when miles move by shortly, each single one was noticing each step and each minute of it, however when that occurred straight away at the beginning of the race, I simply determined to settle into it and to be okay with it. Like, that is the scenario we now have, we’re ending this race as a result of I actually needed to expertise this double, the problem that I had got down to do, and I held onto perception that it was all the time attainable that it was going to get higher. I feel it’s a must to consider that even if you’re, you understand, slogging alongside within the moments that don’t make you wish to consider it should ever get higher. I feel you’ve received to consider that there’s one thing totally different in case you simply preserve trudging ahead.
David Freeman:
So, I imply, the entire focus of in the present day’s episode is intuitive coaching and if you break that down by definition you may go so many various methods with it. So, if you stroll via intuitive coaching, and I’ve already heard so far as like the way you join along with your thoughts after which the physique type of follows, and I preach that, proper. The way in which you assume dictates the best way you act, which often yields the outcomes that you just get. So, are you able to stroll us via a few of your intuitive coaching strategies? And I do know it’s a mastery behind it and it got here from time and issues change, it’s an ever stream kind skinny, however in case you can type of simply give us somewhat glimpse of what that appears like for you.
Courtney Dauwalter:
Intuitive coaching for me is, the best way that I want to coach and reside proper now. I’ve been studying through the years to belief myself, and the indicators that my physique is giving me and my capacity to behave on these indicators, nevertheless it didn’t like occur in a single day. It’s for certain been a protracted means of figuring it out, however I simply want to function this fashion and it includes lots of like checking in with myself each single day, all of my methods. working is a bodily act, however I’m checking in with my head each single day, I’m checking in with my feelings each single day and making an attempt to then gauge how far down I can push the gasoline pedal in coaching or if I must pump the brakes and deal with some facet of myself as an alternative. So, I feel it’s fairly cool what our our bodies and brains can inform us if we tune into them and that’s just like the puzzle that I’ve loved taking part in with, with this ultrarunning stuff.
Jamie Martin:
Has there ever been a time, or was there a time if you realized that was the best way that you just wanted to coach? Or an aha second like I would like to do that in another way than what I’ve executed prior to now? I imply, clearly we hear on a regular basis about coaching packages and so they actually are necessary for therefore, so many people, however was there ever a second if you had that aha, like, there could be one other strategy to method this.
Courtney Dauwalter:
I feel it was most likely a few issues that led to this method for me. One is that I grew up with actually, actually implausible coaches so I’ve the understanding of like methods to practice for a working race, methods to put together my physique, the psychological aspect of racing. I’ve that as like a foundation as a result of I grew up, you understand, following their structured coaching that we did each single day via center faculty, highschool and faculty. After which after I began working ultras it by no means crossed my thoughts to get a coach or do a plan as a result of I used to be simply desirous to have enjoyable with it and discover if I might even do these races.
Can I end a 50-mile race? Can I end a 100-kilometer race? Like, it was simply this enjoyable recreation that I used to be taking part in. And as I began taking part in it, and the years had been passing the place I stored questioning if I might do it, I used to be simply discovering myself naturally like tinkering with the coaching, and tuning extra into my physique, and listening to these indicators extra and all of it type of unfolded as I received into the game, I assume.
David Freeman:
Yeah, I wish to communicate to that, I imply, the ability of teaching, and clearly having a powerful basis yielded lots of nice issues in the long term. So, if you return to that nostalgic vibe of getting these nice moments with the coach and them tapping in and seeing issues that you just most likely aren’t conscious of, after which now you’re taking that some years ahead and are capable of apply that if you’re on the market in your runs, getting in these moments of if you’re dealing with adversity or the factor that didn’t go the best way that it was purported to. So, faucet into the ability of teaching and the way that has helped you in these races as properly.
Courtney Dauwalter:
Oh, it’s superb. I feel coaches are so implausible, and nice coaches are you understand mind-blowingly impactful, and I used to be fortunate sufficient to have these rising up. And I feel one of many coolest issues that I realized from all of my coaches is that, you understand, you’re employed actually, actually exhausting for a objective and you might be like placing all the things you’ve behind this coaching and peaking for this race, however when you’re doing which you could completely be having enjoyable, and that these issues should not separate. We had a lot enjoyable on all of my groups coaching for these races and we had been working actually, actually exhausting for it. And I feel that having that be established so early on was big in simply how I method sport and take into consideration objectives and stuff.
It’s like that is going to be exhausting, we’re going to buckle down and go after it, but in addition like let’s be certain to have a blast whereas we’re doing it as a result of why not? We get this, you understand, one life so let’s fill it with all the things we love the entire time. Considered one of my coaches additionally was actually impactful in that he was adamant about the truth that there’s all the time yet one more gear. Each time we thought we had been at our restrict, he would reassure us that we are able to flip that dial yet one more notch. We all the time have somewhat bit extra to offer, and it instilled the entire psychological aspect of endurance sports activities for me in like how highly effective our brains will be.
Jamie Martin:
So, a lot of what you’re saying and that’s resonating with me proper now. I’m coaching for a race proper now, and it’s a brief race and I haven’t executed one in a extremely very long time. However I’m for the primary time in my coaching type of following a guided program the place it’s just like the coach is in my ear. And a theme in each run I’ve executed to date has been this may be enjoyable and right here’s how we’re going to, like, make this a extra gratifying expertise. And I’ll actually say, like, working for me hasn’t been gratifying for a few years as a result of I didn’t have that mentality. However to have that shift occur and see like, oh, this may be enjoyable and that is what it will possibly really feel like. After which know methods to regulate inside that has been actually game-changing for me.
I’m 40 years outdated, I’ve been doing runs on and off since my mid-teens, and it like took me a very long time to get right here, however I really feel like that’s typically what occurs for individuals, particularly with working. Like, we exit and we predict we now have to go exhausting and so then it’s not gratifying. So, so that you can study that early on feels actually necessary and like an amazing studying curve from the beginning.
Courtney Dauwalter:
Yeah, I really feel actually fortunate for the coaches I had early on.
Jamie Martin:
Yeah, that’s superb.
David Freeman:
I wish to type of go into the mindset now translating methods to comprehend the coaching program and the way we’re fueling our our bodies. So, the factor that stood out to me is you gasoline your physique on some sweet and a few nachos, all proper, so what don’t you eat? I wish to perceive what don’t you eat. After which do you’ve any, I don’t wish to name them restrictions, however perhaps that is most likely not the very best gasoline supply for this race. So, type of stroll us via since you’re a report holder in a number of races, you do that out of pleasure and having enjoyable, however on the identical time you’ve received to ensure you’re correctly fueled for these races, as a result of these are some lengthy races. So, are you able to stroll us somewhat bit via the way you gasoline your physique?
Courtney Dauwalter:
In life, regular life, I don’t limit or reduce out or scale back any good teams. I wish to eat what sounds scrumptious, I wish to drink what sounds tasty and I wish to reside life. So, for me a part of dwelling life is simply having fun with meals and drinks and never worrying about it. And that’s similar to a private selection, for certain, nevertheless it additionally provides lots of pleasure to my life, and I feel in case you’re blissful you do higher on the belongings you’re making an attempt to do. So, having as a lot of that pleasure in my life is necessary. I’d say one of many issues I be certain of is that I simply am consuming sufficient. I feel having gasoline within the tank is vastly necessary and so it’s consuming typically, and consuming portions and ensuring that the gasoline tank is full.
So far as like in races or in coaching it’s been a protracted course of for me of dialing in what my abdomen can deal with throughout these efforts, and the way I wish to preserve that gasoline tank full after I’m working. Proper now it’s largely liquid diet, so I do lots of Tailwind in my hydration bottles, after which I’ll do, like, basic chews, and waffles and gels, stuff like that. If the races get actually lengthy, that are among the races I want, then I’ll combine in a bunch of actual meals as properly. It’s simply too lengthy to function on gels and liquids, so it might be something from French fries to pancakes to cheeseburgers and leftover pizza. All of that’s truthful recreation then.
Jamie Martin:
So, is that similar to ready for you on the support station? You’re like, okay, it’s time to refuel right here.
Courtney Dauwalter:
Yeah, like, load it up let’s go.
Jamie Martin:
Okay. So, you mentioned, what’s a extremely lengthy race? I imply, 100 miles for lots that’s a extremely lengthy race, you’ve executed longer races, so what is admittedly lengthy in your view and in your world?
Courtney Dauwalter:
Over, I’d say over a day. So, if it begins stepping into like 30 plus hours of working then I’ll incorporate extra actual meals. If it’s 24 hours and fewer I can follow type of the basic working diet.
Jamie Martin:
Yeah. And that’s one thing I feel is necessary as a result of lots of people, properly, runners will take care of like digestive points when working. And I do know at Hardrock, was it Hardrock 2021, round mile 62 that you just needed to type of step away from that race attributable to that. So, like, clearly there’s studying in each race we do, so it’s continually adjusting, I’m assuming, proper?
Courtney Dauwalter:
Yeah, continually adjusting. And that’s one of many attracts for me of this sport is that it’s this puzzle and I get to determine the entire totally different items. A kind of is race diet and typically I’ll assume I’ve a bit dialed and it’s set and I don’t have to consider it anymore. After which all of it will get flipped on its head, and I get to revisit it and I’ve this chance to play with that piece once more.
David Freeman:
All proper, this subject let’s speak concerning the ache cave, all proper. So, I really like this and I often say one thing after I’m teaching to my athletes going to that darkish place. And it doesn’t imply a destructive connotation by any means. What it’s saying is you’ve received to go to that place, type of like that gear, that unknown gear that lots of people possess, and primarily when you go to that darkish place guess what? You’ll quickly see that mild. So, it’s simply you’ve received to go to that darkish place to see that mild. So, I wish to perceive, and our viewers do as properly I’m certain, the ache cave. Are you able to describe what that’s and the way you took place that complete metaphor in itself?
Courtney Dauwalter:
I’ve heard plenty of phrases to explain the identical concept, however the darkish place is a good one or the damage locker, the wrestle bus. The ache cave was the one which I latched onto, I feel as a result of I’m very visible and I might envision that on this collapse my mind that I used to be engaged on. So, for me the ache cave is the place I’m going to in my head when it bodily looks like I can’t take one other step ahead. There’s no approach I can preserve pushing this tough. I change over to my mind as a result of our brains are so, so highly effective and if we are able to keep sturdy in our heads then our physique will observe with us.
And my picture is that I placed on a tough hat and I seize a chisel and I’m going into this cave that I’ve been carving away at now for years making it greater and I simply begin chiseling away at it. And it’s serving to me really feel productive within the exhausting moments the place it’s a celebration of that is the place the work will get executed, and that is how I get higher for the subsequent time is by spending time on this cave proper now chiseling away at making it greater.
Jamie Martin:
It’s an area of self-discovery actually, proper? I imply, when you consider even simply the thought of chiseling, like, you by no means know what you’re going to uncover, you understand, and what comes out of that. I really like that.
Courtney Dauwalter:
Yeah, completely. And initially the ache cave for me was a spot I attempted to keep away from. Like, in my head I used to be getting higher at ultrarunning by pushing the ache cave away so far as attainable and if I arrived at it to only survive my time there. However prior to now couple of years I’ve flipped the story for myself to be the place the ache cave was the place I truly needed to be throughout a race. As a result of that’s the place I used to be rising my capability for that psychological aspect of ultrarunning, in order that the subsequent time I go to it it’s even greater and extra capable of endure.
David Freeman:
Now, Courtroom, so now take that, as a result of we’re talking sport-specific or race-specific, how do you now apply what you study in that ache cave to the on a regular basis life exterior of the game? How has that helped you?
Courtney Dauwalter:
I’d say that I haven’t mastered it in all features of my life exterior of sport. Like, for instance, sitting in site visitors I’m undoubtedly feeling ache cave-ish, however not as productive. However I do assume it will possibly educate us loads normally and be utilized to all the things in our lives about, you understand, persistence and sticking with it in these actually exhausting moments. And our mindset and what we inform ourselves is necessary, so in these exhausting moments if we are able to keep current, settle for that it’s troublesome, however inform ourselves one thing constructive, we are able to you understand carry on pushing ahead via regardless of the factor is.
Jamie Martin:
When you consider that persistence and pushing via, if you end a race, like among the races you’ve simply executed, is there a mindset like, oh, I wish to persist and do that once more? I wish to, I do know what’s attainable, I’m going to do that extra or like what’s your mindset if you end a race about what’s subsequent and like persisting and doing it once more?
Courtney Dauwalter:
It’s, for certain, some moments of celebrating and simply being there and having fun with what simply occurred. However actually shortly we transitioned, my husband and I transitioned to eyes ahead and determining what did we simply study from this expertise, whether or not it went properly or not, and what can we then apply to the subsequent time we do that? This sport for me is like all about trial and error, and testing myself, and like being inquisitive about what’s attainable with our our bodies and our brains. And that’s what has me signing up for these time and again is simply, like, discovering that out for myself and attending to run this experiment on myself of like, yeah, when the entire methods are linked how exhausting can we push, how far can we go, what does that really appear like?
Jamie Martin:
Properly, you talked about your husband, and I do know in your assist system, as an illustration, I imply he I do know has been a pacer for you at totally different factors in numerous races. What does your assist system appear like, you understand, past him? And like via a race or in day-to-day life too as a result of this takes lots of time. Coaching is a dedication and doing this and what does that assist appear like for you?
Courtney Dauwalter:
My husband’s an enormous a part of it. We’re a workforce. It’s my ft and my legs which can be working these races, however he’s an enormous a part of attending to these end strains as properly, and the end strains are each of ours, for certain. In any other case, it’s you understand household and buddies supporting these concepts, supporting me in my coaching, coming to races and supporting me that approach and totally different manufacturers that do the identical. In any other case, exterior of that I don’t have like a workforce of individuals engaged on my physique or serving to me with coaching or something like that.
David Freeman:
Properly, I’ll throw this at you. I imply, let’s go forward and provides some props and reward. So, Wealthy Roll says world’ finest feminine ultrarunner, the very best interval. Humble grasp of psychological grit and boundary-busting with bodily prowess. So, after we ask a query that everyone most likely asks you, so far as what’s subsequent, as a result of if you break down all of the issues that you just’ve already executed, proper, you crushed the ultramarathon world, proper, you beat males, proper, and you’ve got such massive objectives. Like, what’s subsequent for Courtney?
Courtney Dauwalter:
To maintain having as a lot enjoyable as attainable whereas pushing myself to see what’s attainable. Yeah, whereas my physique and mind are letting me do the sort of exploring I wish to do it full on and luxuriate in the entire moments that I can alongside the best way.
Jamie Martin:
What’s the message that you’d supply to, you understand lots of runners aren’t going to do an ultra-run or an ultra-race, however simply getting out the door and doing this and seeing your potential. Like, what message do you’ve only for perhaps the day by day runner who’s making an attempt to get just a few miles in or perhaps, you understand, 10 to fifteen miles per week? What would you inform these individuals or what’s your recommendation to them for staying with it and staying the course?
Courtney Dauwalter:
My recommendation is endurance and consistency. Simply preserve stacking these tiny blocks on prime of one another and certain sufficient ultimately you’re going to have this actually massive tower that you just constructed your self along with your ft and your dedication, and to not neglect that its enjoyable and to get pleasure from it. It will probably really feel exhausting and be enjoyable on the identical time and it’s straightforward to lose sight of that after we’re getting going with it. Not everybody has to attempt an extremely, for certain, however I do assume they’re actually particular and educate us loads, so it might be a cool objective for some individuals.
Jamie Martin:
It’s humorous I used to be simply modifying an article, we now have a colleague at Life Time who’s going to be doing the Leadville 100 right here in a few weeks and it’s her first hundred mile race. And I used to be studying her piece and simply pondering like, wow, just like the persistence, the stamina, the dedication, the psychological hurdles that she’s overcome. And it’s simply all the time such a tremendous factor to look at individuals push themselves to that and in addition see what they uncover. So, it’s superb that we are able to, we now have type of a line of sight to that at Life Time due to our athletics. I do know you’re in Leadville the place lots of these races occur. Will you go? Will you attend Leadville like and see? I do know its a part of the entire neighborhood when these races come to city.
Courtney Dauwalter:
It’s a part of the entire neighborhood. Everybody’s out cheering on-course, or serving to fill waters or selecting up trash. It’s tremendous cool how everybody unites for these massive occasions. So, yeah, hopefully I’ll have a entrance row seat to the motion and I want her the very best of luck. That’s tremendous cool.
Jamie Martin:
Yeah, it’s going to be actually enjoyable to look at her. I needed to ask one fast factor. I imply, clearly we’re speaking Courtney ultrarunner right here, however what about exterior of working, like different passions, different issues that you just’re dedicated to in your world?
Courtney Dauwalter:
Something exterior, something transferring is how we spend our time. In any other case, household, and buddies and making recollections with the those that we love is necessary to me.
David Freeman:
I wish to throw one other at you. I get the blessing to have the ability to go across the nation to pour into lots of coaches and one of many issues I hyperfocus on and Jamie already mentioned earlier, is round mindset. And one a part of this dialog that I’ve with them is adversity and poise within the face of adversity. So, not figuring out the element of what Jamie was speaking about at mile 62, proper, that you just ended up dealing with adversity. Let’s simply take that within the sense of lots of the opposite races that you just might need gone via and when one thing comes up that was surprising that doesn’t go in your favor, I would like our listeners to listen to the way you tackle adversity and that method.
As a result of proper now I hear all of the issues that you just’re saying, you understand, have enjoyable, benefit from the course of, love what you’re doing 100%, however I imply then you definitely return to the fact of what you are feeling in site visitors could be what individuals really feel of their races, proper? So, are you able to stroll us via the way you take care of adversity and the way these reps through the years allowed you to have the ability to arrive if you do face adversity?
Courtney Dauwalter:
Completely. So, when these moments occur, which they occur the entire time, I’ll repeat easy however constructive mantras to myself time and again in my mind. So, perhaps one thing like that is positive, all the things is okay, and I’ll simply repeat that time and again. Whereas I’m doing that it feels prefer it’s productive as a result of it takes up house in my mind so I can’t begin getting right into a destructive whirlpool of ideas. And it calms down all of my methods the place I can truly assume with the opposite aspect of my mind like what experiences have I had earlier than which can be just like this? Undergo the submitting cupboard in my mind, have I any concepts on what has labored earlier than that I might attempt proper now, and I simply begin making an attempt issues then.
And drawback fixing in something, however for certain in ultrarunning, typically you don’t nail the primary answer straight away. So, it’s like making an attempt one thing, and being prepared to pivot once more and check out one other answer, and being prepared to pivot once more and check out one thing totally different till you discover what sticks and what helps. However whereas I’m doing that the entire time it’s simply this straightforward, constructive mantra time and again like a damaged report to only preserve the thoughts house in a great spot.
Jamie Martin:
Properly, and what it feels like is a few a lot of what it involves if you’re working, I imply, it’s as a lot psychological as it’s bodily, in lots of instances. I imply, yeah, you see the bodily endurance, however what’s occurring up right here is simply as, most likely if no more, necessary than what’s taking place along with your physique.
Courtney Dauwalter:
Undoubtedly. And that has simply been our, like, each time I do a race I’m reminded of that once more in a extremely big approach. Or out coaching I’m reminded of it the entire time that it’s a bodily act, working is a bodily movement, however our brains are an enormous a part of it.
Jamie Martin:
Yeah. And that basically brings you again, us again to the thought of intuitive coaching, proper. It’s listening to your self. It’s tuning in and self-awareness in a approach that so typically it will possibly get, it may be straightforward within the house of well being, and health and wellness to essentially concentrate on the exterior and what’s taking place exterior. However after we faucet into that intrinsic and what’s actually taking place that’s the place type of the actual change occurs, in lots of instances, and the actual, we uncover and find out about ourselves. So, I imply, I simply assume after we can, in lots of instances it’s each and proper. We’d like each however how do we actually faucet into that psychological aspect to maneuver us ahead. David has his saying that he all the time says it’s thoughts proper, physique proper, you understand, and that’s one thing we take into consideration loads right here. So, David, something you’ll wish to add?
David Freeman:
No, I imply, I’ve received an amazing mic drop second that I’m excited to share with Courtroom, however I wish to guarantee that, Courtroom is there any key takeaways or issues that we haven’t talked about that you just’d like to depart our viewers with earlier than that mic drop second?
Courtney Dauwalter:
I feel we’ve lined a lot of it, I feel believing in ourselves and elevating the bar for ourselves is, it’s attainable for all us. We will do exhausting issues, we are able to do greater than we predict, we simply need to go for it and check out.
Jamie Martin:
Love that.
David Freeman:
All proper. Jamie you prepared for me to do the mic drop?
Jamie Martin:

David Freeman:
All proper, Courtroom, right here we go. I’m going to throw at assertion at you, and I wish to know the very first thing that involves thoughts and what it means to you, okay?
Courtney Dauwalter:
Oh, my gosh. Okay, I’m nervous.
David Freeman:
Oh, don’t be, don’t be. All proper.
Jamie Martin:
