So that's what we can learn as ultra runners is that consistency matters a lot. The more that you can get out there, in fact we can look at a hundred different athletes, right?

And you can map out their success will be directly correlated with simply how much annual volume they do.

Not volume over four weeks, not volume over eight weeks,

but annual or even over two years, and we're not volume mongers it's not like we're

telling people to go out and do 20 hour long runs or anything like that but it's the

consistency that makes that volume show up that enables them to be successful.

All right, let's hit the record button and say hello.

I am your host, Billy Yang, and thank you guys for returning.

If you are a returning listener and hello for the very first time if you are

joining us for the very first time. My name is Bill Yang I'm a filmmaker I'm a

podcaster I am sometimes athlete. Yeah I think I'm probably better known for being a filmmaker.

As such I was actually just wrapping up a little I don't know what to call these things,

like a mini tour I guess of my latest film called Lead Man, about the Dave Mackie story,

the incredible Dave Mackie who, you know, a phenomenal athlete, injured his leg,

freak accident, had to get it amputated, and it was all about his comeback into running the Leadville 100 and the Leadman

series this past year in 2018.

Some of my stops included Boulder Premier at the Dairy Arts Center where Peter Downing and Bob Africa

at South for Better helped organize it and put on an amazing event.

Suffr Fest and Rad Boulder were there, Kelly, you know, brought in food and drinks.

It was all an amazing event. Scott Jerks spoke, Killary Allen spoke, Claire Gallagher was there,

Courtney Do Walter was there, an amazing event.
