3 Arenas 4.0 SHORT

You guys want to hear something completely insane?

The reason most runners dnf it isn't because of their legs, their lungs, or their fitness level.

And I know this because as an army mental resilience trainer, I've watched hundreds, maybe even thousands at this time of, average soldiers outperforming top athletes.

And the truth is there's something called a mental collapse window.

And this is a 30 minute window where a race is either won or where you raise your hand and say, I give up.

So in this training, I'm going to show you how to survive that window so you can endure the pain that makes everyone else quit.

And I will show you the three arenas of mental strength and more importantly, how they will make you unbreakable.

Right?

You'll get to test how strong you are in each one of them.

And you're going to leave this training knowing exactly why you DNF the last race or why you might do so in the future, and which arena failed you and how to fix it.

and the only reason we do this, because I want you to finish that revenge race once and for all.

And I want to let you know that you can do this without adding more mileage.

You can do this without some secret motivational hacks that is super complicated and requires a bunch of things that there's no scientific evidence for.

You don't need the color coded spreadsheets.

And we're going to make this simple.

And you don't have to become like a David Goggins.

You don't have to worry about who's going to carry the boats.

And, this training, let's put it this way.

If you are an amateur ultra runner, you have a job, a family, and you're living in time and you have a revenge race on the calendar that scares you, then I made this training specifically for you.

I'm not talking to the elites with endless resources.

I am talking to the runner who hit a wall, told the aid station volunteer that, know I'm done.

And you have regretted that ever since.

I'm going to show you how to install a mental software that ensures that never happens again.

So if you have a meaningful DNF behind you, you have a revenge race planned, and you are an amateur ultra runner, this is exactly for you.

So tell me which one of these apply to you?

And please just write it in the chat.

And that's how I see it.

And how I can get back to you.

The moment I told the volunteer I'm done keeps replaying in your mind.

Or I cannot believe I quit.

I should have found a way to keep going.

And maybe, just maybe, do you feel like you're done with the motivational quotes, the YouTube speeches, the whatever.

And you need an actual plan for what to do when your brain wants to quit.

And I get it.

Like, I failed ultras and military selections more times than most people have tried.

So I want you to imagine this.

Imagine knowing exactly what to do when your brain hits that 20 to 40 minutes collapse window.

You know, the thing we talked about in the beginning where your thoughts start to go dark and, quitting starts to make sense.

You know, when you feel like maybe, maybe I should make up that knee injury or I'm not going to make it anyway.

Right.

and now instead, imagine being the runner who stays calm when the race plan breaks.

When everything goes to crap, you're the one who stays calm.

And just focus on what needs to be done.

Right?

So in a moment, I will walk you through the three arenas of mental strength so you can clearly see why you broke the last race or where in the future you might break.

But first, I want to show you the three fastest ways to guarantee a DNF in your next ultra.

Right?

So number one, or step number one, I should say, is believing more mileage will actually guarantee a finish.

This is a classy one, right?

But the thing is, it does, right?

It does.

If you just double your mileage, you will probably have no problems at all finishing this race.

But the problem is you don't have that time.

You probably have a family back home and you need to do other things, or there are a million other reasons why you haven't just doubled your effort yet.

Right?

if you could, you probably would have, right?

But it's not that simple.

So step number two is assuming that mental toughness equals just pushing harder.

So a lot of dnf, they don't happen just because runners can't push.

Like you're an ultra runner or you're wanting to be, is you already know what pain is.

You've been running in the rain, you've been running with, you know, back pains and neck pains and everything.

But it's usually not a lack of toughness, it's rather a lack of control.

So real mental toughness isn't more effort.

It's staying deliberate when everything else wants you to react.

So when pushing harder is the right option, and when backing off is the right option, that is what mental toughness really is about.

It's about emotional control.

So take away that.

It's not about pushing harder.

You're already doing that.

It's about Emotional and mental control as we're talking about.

Okay, step three to making sure that you are DNFing with 100% certainty is doing too much optimization, believing optimization is good for you.

If you are an elite athlete, go ahead, optimize.

You have your team, you have a resource, you have your life set up for you to be, for your training to be optimized.

For the rest of us, we live this life, right?

On the right hand side there is a, you know, Lamborghini Marcello.

On the left hand side there's an old Volvo, old crappy Volvo.

If you want to go on the racetrack, you pick the Lamborghini.

That's the fun, the most best.

But if you want something that will take you to work every single day, year in and year out, and even if the gas explodes, you still get to work, you pick the Volvo, right?

So if you're elite, you have the resources to maintain your Lamborghini.

You are the Lamborghini.

You have all the resources, the team and the money to to take care of you.

But most of us, we just need something that's robust, something that can get us where we want to go, that never ever stops.

That's what we want.

So optimizing.

If you're elite, go for it.

If you are amateur like we are, then we need robustness.

Something that survives through family vacation, all that stuff that life is about.

Okay, step number four is not having a plan for the most difficult part of Ultra.

You have already hydration, you have a pacing plan, you have all the types of plans.

But how many of you, to be honest, have a plan for the mental game?

We need to have a mental plan.

If we now know that Ultra running is 90% mind and 10% actually just running, then why don't we have a plan for that?

Right?

That's what makes me so curious.

So now let's discover the three arenas of mental strength.

What the heck is this?

What the heck have you gotten into?

To set this up properly, I'm, going to give you a short story here.

So when I left the army after 14 years as an officer, I met my now fiance, Diana, and she told me, you have done what 99 wouldn't even consider trying.

And you did it without burning out or sacrificing relationships.

You got to teach this stuff.

And first I'm like, I don't get it.

Whatever I did climb some of the highest mountains on the planet.

I worked as a bomb disposal officer.

And I still have my arms and legs, so I can't be completely bad at it.

I've run some longer distance races, 100 miles and stuff like that.

Some 11 day stuff, fast packing and stuff.

I finished college in half the time.

So I just told her like, dude, I think anyone can do it.

it's really not that difficult.

But in that moment I realized something.

I realized along that way I failed in four military selections before I got accepted, right?

I almost got kicked out of bomb disposal training.

This is four year training and if you just miss one thing, you're out, you never get to come back, right?

And I DNF'd my first 100 mile.

I almost died four times.

That's for another story.

So maybe it wasn't so easy and maybe everybody can't just do it, right?

So I became really, really curious, some might argue obsessed.

we're trying to answer this one question.

Why after so many failures, so many attempts did I keep going?

And why did my much fitter and well prepared competitors stop?

Remember what I said in the beginning, I was one of those, I've been on the starting line thinking there's no way I'm going to beat these dudes.

And then you give it a day, a few days and they drop off and then you give it a week.

And I'm one of the few left.

And I've seen that over and over, over again.

Now as an officer later on, and now I'm understanding why.

You see, I'm not David Goggins.

I don't know who's going to carry the boats.

I'm literally your average next door dude.

So I started going through my experiences one by one and the first thing I discovered was that you really can compensate for a lot with a really strong body.

So mistakes you make, they become easy to fix.

Like this is us digging out our car in Africa.

And if you just have a bunch of mental, physical, strength, it isn't really that tough.

You just go out and do the work, right?

same in the race.

If you're just super duper fit, if you were able to double your training and not get injured and you know, actually have time for that, then you know, you would probably just cruise through the race.

And so when you make a mistake and you add a few extra miles, that's completely fine, right?

Because you're so strong.

So you can, you can do a lot by just having a really strong body.

But if you don't have a strong body, you know, your race obviously becomes harder.

You will be more prone to Injury, you will have disease more often because you will not be, you will not have the immune system for this and you die earlier.

It's rough, but that's literally how it is, right?

It's one of the biggest gifts we have as ultra runners that we really have a high VO2 max.

And that is not one of the biggest predictors of longevity and health.

So the thing that also happens is that if you have an underdeveloped body, you need a greater need for mental strength and you need it earlier.

I'm going to have a look at that in a little bit here.

And this inevitably leads to dnf.

it's just a matter of when.

If you have really strong body, you just moving the edge of when you need to be mentally strong.

So in Unbreakable Mind, we see it as if you have a mental battery, right?

And the idea is you build a super strong body so that you don't need to drain your mental battery.

You will drain it, you'll just have to drain it later, right?

So if you are very, you have pain and injury, then you might start draining your battery by, you know, carrying groceries home, right?

That might drain your battery.

But if you physically fit, that is just a, recovery.

You can go out and you can enjoy that shopping, you come back home, right?

same thing in Ultron.

If you're really fit, you know, your first 15 hours might feel just like a walk in the park and then it might be a little bit of a, of a struggle.

So strong body moves the threshold of when we need to have a need to drain our battery further and further along, right?

But it doesn't solve the problem.

So this usually leads to people who are meant physically strong to just become more fiscally strong.

Because if you push harder, you work more hours and you brute force things, you get this positive feedback, right, that the more you do, the stronger you get.

So you can do it even more.

It becomes an upward spiral of like, I do something, I get strong so I can do even more to do this more and more and more.

The problem is oftentimes that when you do that long enough, you burn out, you break something.

Because there's only so many hours in a day, so many hours you can train.

but this is the foundation of ultra trail performance.

This is the 90% building a physically strong body.

Because if, like I said before, if you're just super duper strong and you spend, you know, 40 hours per week running, most races will be fine.

So that is why strongbody is the first arena we develop in Unbreakable mind, right?

That is the body.

The fiscal resiliency, a core component.

That's where we start.

That's what we need to have.

Otherwise, everything else, just really difficult.

Are you guys with me?

Perfect.

So what are we going to do now?

I promised you before that you're going to learn a little bit about yourself.

And that's why we're going to test your body arena.

And here's how it works.

Pretty straightforward up to the right here.

You can see that, if you score yourself zero points, actually, here's what's happened.

I'm going to present to you a statement.

You're going to write down your score, and at the end we summarize and draw conclusions.

Straightforward.

The points you see up to the right.

If, it doesn't, it isn't you at all.

It's a, zero.

Not like you, Zero point.

Somewhat like you.

One point.

Very much like you.

Three points.

All right, ready?

Here we go.

Number one.

I recover well enough to train hard six times per week without injury, right?

If that is very much like you, you're going to give yourself three points.

If that is somewhat like you, one point and not like you at all.

Zero point.

Next one.

In the last three months, I've done some type of hard activity that took over 10 hours.

Screw yourself on that one.

Number three.

My body feels durable and dependable in everyday life as well as during competition or challenges.

Now, you take all those points, summarize it, and put that in the little box that's going to pop up here somewhere and just enter your score in there and we'll keep it for there.

Great job.

We are blasting through this training.

So the second thing that I discovered is that the most difficult situations in our lives, they require something more than brute force and physical strength, right?

For example, I faced some really difficult situations where there was no good option.

I would either help this person and it would turn into a shit show, or I would not have that on and it had other negative consequences.

Or the biggest thing is when you don't know what's going to happen.

This, what you can see on the image here is a, it's an exercise in captivity, right?

And this is your race, right?

You don't know it's going to feel or you know it's going to hurt in one way or another, right?

And that's something we need to learn to deal with.

Because the race is unknown, you don't know what's coming up.

And it looks oftentimes something like this.

Thoughts pop up in our head during the racing.

I'm not going to make it to the, to the next station before cutoff, so I might as well stop now.

Or if it hurts this much right now, then it just going to be unbearable later.

so can you see the problem here?

Can you see the pattern?

What is going on?

Like, think about it, what, what I just presented here.

Look at this.

If it hurts this much right now, it's going to be unbearable later.

I'm not going to make it to the next aid decision before cutoff, so I might as well stop, right?

So what's the problem?

Well, we're trying to predict the future, right?

So during my first hundred mile, I met this guy called Anderson.

Anderson.

So Anderson and I, we've been running together for the last five hours or so.

And he was an experienced runner.

This was my first one.

He.

He was experienced.

He had run multiple times before.

He even done this one before.

But, at hour five, he.

He stopped and he said to me, I have injury here in my hip.

I.

It's new.

I never had it before.

I don't know what to do.

I think I'm going to quit.

And then he started this thought spiral.

The next 20 minutes of, I don't know how this is going to go.

what is going to happen later on.

It really hurts.

Maybe it'll get worse.

and he.

He ended up in this.

You probably recognize now, right?

This is the collapse window, the mental collapse window.

And he decided to give up in that moment, five hours in.

So he raises his hand and says, I'm done.

He gets picked up and go back to the finish line.

And at the finish line later on, I meet him and I, asked, dude, what happened?

And he said, two things happen.

One, I just low level panicked.

Like, I didn't know what to do.

I haven't had this before.

And two, as soon as I got in the car, I knew that I've made the wrong mistake.

I regret it already.

There's a big lesson in this one, because this is the mental collapse window.

So what happened here?

Well, as we like to talk about it in Unbreakable Mind, we talk about it like this.

There's a triggering event.

This is this new pain that Anders has.

It's like, what is this thing?

And then he goes into the reaction phase.

This is where he, you know, he reacts to the pain and he gets emotional and he gets run by his emotions.

And then he get into the car in, he starts calming down, relaxing, and start thinking long term.

And he goes into what we call the action phase.

The action phase is where we think long term and we think logically and we understand the situation better.

The problem with here is that if you spend too much time in the reaction phase, you end up in this mental collapse window.

We talk about your emotions take over, and you make that split decision to give up or to stop, whatever it may be.

Right.

so Anders was lacking the tools to take command over himself, and he didn't have a plan for the unknown.

Right.

So what we train, for example, in Unbreakable Mind.

And what he lacked is this ability to move this X here.

The X is what we call the switch point.

We need the switch point to be as close to the triggering event as possible.

Because that will deny us the ability to live in our emotions for too long.

Because making decisions, long term decision from a point of emotional overwhelm or fear of the unknown is really bad, right?

So we, we would teach you, or we would teach Anders how to move that switching point as close as possible, right?

And we would teach him how to take command over himself.

And he didn't have a plan for it.

He had no plan.

He was just like, I've done this before, whatever, and screws up.

So don't be like, Anders, get a freaking mental plan for the dark moments.

Like if you know that's going to happen, you got to prepare for it.

So if you have an underdeveloped mind, you will have what Anders had, You will have reactive poor decisions and you regret saying things.

It's an example when we get pissed off on someone and then a few seconds later, like, I shouldn't have said that, you know, or when, we raise our hand to DNF and we sit in the car going back, realizing there's more to me, you know, I had more to give.

This is also where race anxiety lives.

If you have race anxiety for a race that it's unhealthy levels, then it could be that you haven't trained these systems or you haven't trained this part of you.

This is usually when we overthink over plan and we are overly worried, some of us will catastrophize, you know, if it hurts this much now, how bad is it going to be later, right?

So inevitably leads to bitterness, depression and a tough life.

We don't have time to go into the details, but that is where you end up if you don't develop these skills.

But if you do have a strong mind, you have that emotional control.

You can take long term decisions when things are crappy, right?

Which is a good skill that I develop from the bomb disposal thing, right?

Because if you make decisions from your emotions when you're trying to fix a bomb, could be a bad day.

And, you will also don't have regrets, right?

You don't make decisions too early, you don't make them too late, you make them perfect.

This is the difference I've seen between average and above average soldiers, athletes or runner, whatever.

And notice that I mentioned above average and average.

Like we're not about, we're not at the top level yet.

There's still something missing.

And that's what we're going into in a few minutes.

So that turned into, well, the second arena, right?

This is the mind.

And you've heard about this, you heard body and mind and that's why we're not done yet.

And this is where it comes interesting.

But before we go into that, let's test it.

Let's go for a mental resiliency test.

Right?

Same as before.

Here comes the first statement.

Number one, when my race starts to fall apart.

Missed.

Fueling panic at aid station, you know, negative self talk or thinking about cutoffs, I can slow my thoughts down within minutes or seconds.

It's important here that you do it within minutes or seconds.

If it takes you hours or 30 minutes, it's too long.

Number two, during training I can clearly tell the difference between a day that requires pushing, or I should say pushing through discomfort and a day where backing off will actually improve my long term performance.

So you have a balance between, you know, the Dave and Goggins attitude and, and a more laid back analytic side.

Number three, you rarely avoid a tough decision or doing what scares you.

So fill in these numbers, press the little button down here somewhere, which is a little box, and you can give me your score and we'll keep that for later.

It'll all make sense.

So having a strong body, having a strong mind can get you really far, as we've seen.

And I think that's why a lot of people stop here.

That's why you become above average, right?

Because a lot of people get here.

Most people don't, because that would be average.

But, some people go here, and, but a lot of people go here.

But you won't get to the top.

You won't explore what is you.

What is the best version of you.

What's the absolute peak of what you're able to do.

You cannot do that in this sense.

There's something missing.

So in this discovery process, when I went through this, I now gained some very deep insights.

But as I'm telling you, right, there's something missing.

And what about the days when I.

When I actually wanted to give up?

You know, the days when I was broken, I couldn't move.

And I would if I could have raised my hand and said, I'm done.

I was still able to move on, and it had nothing to do with me.

So this magical mental strength formula was broken, you know, that you see in the gym, Mind and body, that type of stuff.

And it took me a while to figure this out, but when it did, when it all clicked, it was really the big aha moment.

and I realized this is what separated those of us who stood at the finish line versus those who got left behind.

So the third thing that I realized it.

I actually got from a David Goggins book.

And the interesting part is this.

It doesn't really say in the book unless you dig really deep and you really look into it.

So there's a story in the book, I don't know which one can remember which one, where it says that David, Goggins was doing this 240 miles race, right?

And he broke down, he completely collapsed, and his crew took him back to the hotel.

And the story says that he just, you know, toughened up, got back out there and finished race even though it was completely broken.

Because, you know, David Goggins, that's what he does.

That's the version everyone remember.

But there's actually a twist.

So if you.

If you look at the details of that story, here's what actually happened.

When.

When they took him to the hotel, the race was basically over.

Like, he was sick, he was dehydrated, he was done.

The medical personnel just said, you're done, dude.

You're over.

Then someone on his team, I don't remember which one was they checked the cutoff time, I think it was the Medicaid, checked the cutoff time and realized there's still enough time to finish.

So now they didn't have, a mental toughness problem.

It was a decision problem.

Because Coggins would listen to them because they are the professional in the moment.

So.

So what they wanted was obvious.

They wanted him to stay safe, you know, rest, be there where they are.

But they knew also what he wanted.

He didn't want comfort.

He wanted to freaking complete this thing.

So they put their own fears aside and they supported his goals instead of their owns.

and their main task, maybe to protect him, right?

So they woke him up, they drove him back to the course and then said, hey, the audience, you can still finish this thing.

And that's what happened.

That's what hit.

Not because he magically got stronger.

Not because his team understood the difference between.

Sorry.

More because the team understood the difference between keeping him safe, what was their job, and getting him out there to do the thing that he was meant to do.

He was willing to take higher risks than their medical professional was really, enabling them to do.

Right?

That's the real reason.

And I think that's what you want too, right?

A people around you who understand what you truly want.

Not to break you down or breaks you, but actually to enable you to do the amazing things.

Nobody would have blamed Goggins in that moment.

If he checked out, everybody called him ready to go.

Hearing this story is what brought all the pieces together.

Now I realize why I was able to continue going on when I wanted to give up during those military selections.

It's because I actually had people around me who supported me and gave me everything that I needed in those moments.

And that's why unbreak mining cysts, that's why we understand now the three arenas and that's why third arena is obviously the team, right?

And the team is your support.

It's your family, your friends, whoever is with you in that situation.

We need to be able to have a team that supports us, right?

Because if you don't have that, you are alone when things get rough and it makes it almost impossible to win because you have five seconds of weakness and you just raise your hand and you're out.

and you will stop growing as a person.

No one give you honest feedback.

And this inevitably leads to earlier DNFs, leads to loneliness.

This is just really crappy.

I know a lot of ultra runners think that running is a solo sport.

It is not.

There's no way it is a team activity.

But you might, you know, actually do the moving of your feet on your own, but it is a team activity.

That's how it is.

So I'm going to be straight with you and I say this from the bottom of my heart.

You will not hit your absolute peak alone.

There just.

It can't be done.

You will find zero examples in history on how this has been done.

People always have a team around them, whether it's family, friends, co workers, online communities, whatever it is, you need to have it and you need to develop it so it is and support to you, not a limitation.

Right?

A good team is like putting rockets on your car.

A shitty team is like putting dragging an anchor behind your car with your hand brakes on and flat tires and you know, someone stole your engine, something like that.

So a team, a good team will hold you accountable and will support you when needed.

They will understand you, understand what you need when you're lost or down.

Just like the people of Goggins, right?

They knew what he needed, not what he wanted or what they wanted.

Right?

And they can push you in direction you need to go.

It's incredibly important.

Right?

it's not just hoorah, you can do it.

It's other things, it's deeper.

It's the things that you need from people around you.

We are social animals and if you don't play in this arena, you will not get to where you want to go.

Simple as that.

So the old adage is true.

If you want to go fast, go down, be my guest.

If you want to far go with a team.

in unbreak mind we talk about these three arenas and we talk about what happens when you get them right.

So, but before we do that, let's talk about your team, your support network, your social arena.

Number one, I have people around me who give me honest and useful feedback.

If this is not like you at all.

Zero points.

Very much like you.

Three points.

Number two, I have people around me that understands my goals and pushes me to do what I want, not just what they want to do, want me to do.

Like your mom wants you to do Certain things right isn't necessarily that aligns with what you want.

She wants you to stay safe.

You want to go out and take risk and live the adventure of a lifetime.

So when you succeed, have people who genuinely celebrate you.

They become happy, not jealous or like you.

don't blah blah blah, but genuinely right.

Okay, Take all those numbers, summarize it, click the little thing below or to the right We are running a little bit low on time, but, So I can't go in too in depth on this, but I'll give you an opportunity later that where we can go in depth, really in depth on this.

But the conclusion I want you to bring away from now is that if you have something that's 0 to 4 points, this is obviously the weak arena.

This is the hole in your armor.

This is a good thing because if you've gotten this far while having a weak arena, then you have huge gains with little effort.

So this is where I would start.

If you have a team arena, which is kind of shitty, which a lot of people do, then, with a few tools and a few, things, you can get really far with this.

Really develop this one, and you can get a good support network.

Five to seven points.

This is a moderate one.

This, what we usually see here is that they work fine during everyday situations, but when your race gets really tough or your life gets really tough, that's where people crack.

So this one's a little bit more sneaky.

And if Your score is 8 to 9, this is where you're strong.

I would just figure out what the heck you're doing here, that it's already working, solidify that and keep doing that and make sure that you stay strong in that arena and develop the other ones.

By now you know your strengths and you know your weaknesses.

You know most likely what caused your DNF in the past.

And you can also now predict what might cause your DNF in the future.

So the question is, what then happens when you develop the three arenas?

Well, imagine returning to your revenge race and think about that moment that broke you before, or as you're scared might break in the future and now put yourself in that situation, the one that ended your last win.

It's the same train, it's the same fatigue, it's that same voice saying, this is where you quit last time.

You can hear it.

This is where you quit last time.

But now you recognize that pattern.

You recognize the emotions, you recognize the pain.

You recognize excellent.

And you remember you now have a next step.

Like you now have a plan.

You know how, a script, you know how to do this because you've rehearsed it over and over again.

You have a plan.

So you keep moving, not heroically, not dramatically.

You just do it correctly, slow and steady with emotional control.

And then when you cross the finish line, the feeling isn't relief anymore, it's certainty.

Because now you know you can handle this and you don't panic when things fall apart.

And you are also the person who now finished what you started, right?

So this time when the darkness showed up, you didn't break.

That is pretty cool.

So my question to you is obviously, how valuable will it be for you to that body, mind and team?

Put that into the chat box here as well.

Or a little thing that's popping up 1 to 10 and that really makes sense later on when we attach all these pieces together and then what would become possible, right?

So in number of mind, we say when you have a well developed mind, body and a team, you unlock performance, right?

And it becomes impossible to DNF and you become unbreakable.

Right?

And I don't say this lightly, but if you think about it, you go through this arena later on tonight, when you think about it, figure out a way where if you're strong in all those three arenas, you can fail at anything.

I would argue so it's impossible.

But there is a problem, right?

the three arenas framework, the mental plan and this ability to stay in emotional control just, it doesn't install itself.

It doesn't just like, I know it, therefore it's going to pop into my life and I'm just going to, you know, do it.

But rather mastering the three unions and becoming unbreakable.

It doesn't happen by just leaving the comfort zone, right?

You know, going out there, doing hard race, raining, and just suffering, right?

That's how you get strong.

No, that's not it.

It's not about doing uncomfortable things.

Eating too much candy is uncomfortable, Right.

it's leaving your familiar zone.

We don't have time to go into what the familiar zone is in detail.

But what I want you to know, it is about identifying exactly what caused your DNF or what might cause the next, and training that exact moment in a structured, safe, and realistic way with structure so you get stronger and you get stronger fast.

And I mean, strong mind, strong body, strong team.

And not by just working harder, Right?

And I want you to do it in a safe way that allows you to crush your limits, right?

And you want to crush your limits, but you want to do it without injury or risk of burnout.

and you want to make it realistic so the training actually support your goals, not just feel good mindset.

Something like, I feel.

I feel confident, like, no, you should have the.

You should have evidence that you can do it.

You should have tools that you can do it, right?

Like, you don't think you can dig a hole in the ground.

Like, you should have done it before, right?

So, you know, you need a shovel and you know those things, right?

So here's the fork in the train.

trail.

You can stay on the struggle bus and you can keep doing what you're doing and you can expect the same results you already have.

But then when race day happens and somewhere out there, you're going to be standing in front of a volunteer or your crew and hear yourself say the words you never want to say.

I'm done.

And it's not just the DNF on the results page.

It's that moment replaying in your head on a loop.

Like it's sitting on the car on your way back, warm and safe and.

And realizing you had more.

it's so frustrating.

I've done this.

I've done this so many times.

It's the next morning when your legs don't even hurt that much.

It's opening your phone and seeing the photos from the course.

It's the medal you don't have.

It's the messages from all your friends and family wanted to know, how did it go?

And you reply, yeah, I dropped again.

And then the story starts.

You know how it goes.

It's like I had stomach issues, the weather was brutal, my knee flared up.

And all of those things are real.

But the part that thinks is, it's quietly that quite thought underneath, where you know that you quit too early or just the other version where you kind of keep pushing yourself because you don't want to be the person who quits and you just push past the line you shouldn't cross.

And now it's not just like a disappointment, it's a limp.

It's months or years of rehab.

It's, it's watching training slip away.

It's that bitter thought, I didn't just lose the race, I lost the season, you know, as you.

So you got a choice now you can kind of hope you'll figure out when it's dark and emotional, you know, when you're sleep deprived, cold, and every thought feels true.

Or you can start installing this mental game plan so you're no longer hoping you'll make it.

Because what you probably don't need more is grit, right?

You probably need more toughness.

But, what you might need is a DNF proof mind or we might need to develop three arenas.

And that is why I created the six weeks to an Unbreakable Mind training.

And it is advanced mental training for ultra runners.

So if you, if you want motivational stuff, you want more like, you know, the basics, this is probably not for you, but you have a race plan you have an nutrition plan, you already have a gear plan, but do you have a mental plan?

Right, so this mental playbook that we teach, or that we.

We create, rather, is something you execute when the race gets chaotic, you know, so you stay in control and you finish without relying on hype or motivation or external things.

And the thing that's really exciting is that we're doing a beta now.

And I'm going to let you know what that means.

But the idea here is I want you to finish the race that beat you the last time.

And I want you to do that by mastering the exact moment where your mind cracked.

So in this six week online training, together with us, you will crush your limits and you will become mentally unbreakable.

That is what I want for you.

And you will do it without doubling your mileage or trying to will power away through.

That's a very old school way of doing it.

And as you've seen, just being tough isn't what we're going for.

You are already tough.

You've already done all that crap, right?

But Unbreakable Mind is not for everyone.

I only work with runners who are 100% committed to their revenge race.

Right.

A place in the program is not guaranteed and I do only open up 10 spots.

and those who get accepted will get in at a founding member rate, which is 80% off, which is ridiculous.

And I will only do this this round.

And this is not some crazy online marketing scam.

This, this is it.

Like, it won't be 80% and I only take 10 people.

Simple.

So when you want help making this real, not just being interesting, then the next step is very simple.

You book an application call with me.

And on this 30, 30 minute call with me, we are going to identify your failure pattern or where your risks lie, and we're going to translate that into this first version of the mental plan, as we call it, and what specifically you need to start working on.

So after that call, you leave with a simple implementation map that you can implement in your training week instantly.

Right?

And best case scenario, you get all of that and you realize that you are fit for the program and you get invited to the 10% beta.

Worst case, you leave the call knowing exactly how to implement this training in your training, in your training week, right?

So best case, you join the program or you get offered to join the program.

Worst case, you just win.

an implementation.

And this is not just about running, right?

These skills I learned from bottom disposal training, it can change every part of your life.

whether it's you're an elite level competition like at Julia, or if you're trying to learn a new language, which Marusa did in two months of work, which is ridiculous, or like Rickett, you have really tough decisions to make.

These things, this emotional control, these things you will learn, it will change the way you see it will change the way how other people see you.

You will become the person who are in control, the person who are steady.

When everyone else shakes, that will become you.

And that will mean that you will able to finish your races, finish everything you set your mind to.

That is what I want for you and it is very exciting.

And if you book your application call within the next 50 minutes I'll upgrade you to the elite level which means you get one on one coaching directly with me on this call.

There's no commitment like you're not signing up that you have to do anything.

And there will be no pushy salesperson.

The only salesperson you'll meet is me, this guy.

I'm not asking you to make a purchasing decision today.

That would just be crazy, right?

I'm asking that you don't miss this opportunity, that you don't miss this book a call because you are busy or doing other stuff.

This is all you need to know to take the next step.

And since you're here with me at the end of this training, at least some part of you know that this is what you need to ensure that finish.

If so, I want you to click the link to the right or to the bottom and go to my schedule page and select a time that fits your life.

And then you will also secure your VIP upgrade if you do get selected.

So some of you are going to say, now is not a good time.

There is not such a thing as good time in our lives.

So if you're going to wait for that, you'll wait until the next life, right?

Or someone is going to say, I can't afford it.

And first of all, you don't know what it is, and second of all, you know you're going to get 80% off.

And third of all, I've never so far had anyone who wants to join where we couldn't figure out a way to make it happen if you're a good fit.

So that's it.

All you need to do now is book the call.
