Summary
NOTE: This was recorded 4/9/26 prior to the G.1.M Ultra
In this episode, I sit down with BPN athlete Jonny Davies 24 hours before the G1M Ultra to talk about ultra running, confidence, self-respect, and the work behind becoming the person you want to be. Jonny shares how running helped him rebuild his relationship with himself, why confidence is earned through action, and how journaling, training, nutrition, and discipline shaped his G1M prep.
We also break down the backyard ultra format, fueling for endurance, the power of community, and why the process matters more than the finish line.
