Longevity in Ultrarunning: Avoiding Burnout & Training Smart with Allie Gibbons & Sam Atherton

We chat with ultra runners Allie Gibbons and Sam Atherton to dive into the key strategies that help endurance athletes stay strong for the long haul.  We talk about recognizing signs of burnout, why blood work is crucial for performance, and how to train smarter to avoid injuries.  Beyond the physical side, we also explore the personal journey of running—setting meaningful goals, building a strong community, and even the adventure of transitioning to van life. Allie and Sam also share their incredible story as a couple in the endurance world, from how they met through running to the dynamics of training together.  We dive into the importance of strength training and mobility, as well as how to balance pushing your limits with proper recovery.  Plus, we discuss what it takes to stay authentic in content creation while navigating the highs and lows of endurance sports—especially during epic challenges like the Speed Project in Chile. This episode is packed with insights to help you train smarter, stay in the sport longer, and find fulfillment in your running journey. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!
