#8: Andy Berry... The Winning Mindset: An In-depth Interview with the Lakeland 100 2023 Champion

Maximum Mileage Running Podcast

Do you ever wonder what it takes to win an ultra-marathon? You're in for a treat as we chat with the remarkable Andy Berry, the recent winner of one of the UK's toughest races, the Lakeland 100. Pulling back the curtain on his preparation, Andy shares how he stepped away from racing to focus on rigorous training in the hills and fells for the Lakes 24-Hour record, guided by none other than Kim Collison, the previous record holder, before recovering and heading into his recent win!
Stretching boundaries isn’t just about physical prowess, as Andy reveals the intertwining roles of recovery and mental preparation in his success. From valuable insights on listening to your body, to recognizing the importance of family support and redefining DNF (Did Not Finish) as a learning opportunity, prepare to be inspired by his journey. We also get a window into the intricacies of specific training sessions, checkpoint strategies, and the crucial two-week tapering period that played a pivotal role in his win.
