New experiences and personalities we come across help us know ourselves better. Heading into the unknown puts us out of our comfort zone and teaches us to be more adaptable in every aspect of life, whether that’s running a new race or making a big life change…However, even with fewer or zero ultras to race, we’re still ultrarunners. Not just in our core, but in practical terms.
