Badwater 135 is one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world. The race is a 135 mile footrace through Death Valley, California, where temperatures have gone up to 130+ degrees at times. There is no shade on the course, it's extremely hot, and tests even the strongest of runners. I was out at Badwater this year crewing and pacing, and I learned so many things from seeing the runners take on the course. Some things we discuss on this podcast: How to run better in the heat How to prepare for hot races (even if you live somewhere cool) How to stay mentally strong, even when it gets tough Why you shouldn't worry about your age How to get adapted to the heat The one thing you can do to instantly improve your ultramarathon times And much more!
