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!

Thank you so much for listening!
