Can you train for a 50-mile ultramarathon mostly on a treadmill and still be successful? With winter conditions, snow, ice, and limited daylight, most of my long runs leading into the Rocky 50 Ultramarathon have been done on a treadmill. In this episode, I break down why treadmill training isn’t a setback — and in many ways, it’s been a mental and physical advantage. This run was a 3+ hour long treadmill session, focused on stacking miles, dialing in fueling, and building discipline late in my training block. No pace chasing. No scenery. Just showing up and doing the work. I talk through: • Why treadmill runs get a bad reputation • Mental discipline required for long indoor runs • Fueling lessons during 3+ hour efforts • Training without perfect conditions • Confidence heading into race day • Setting a sub-9-hour goal for my first ultramarathon Sometimes preparation doesn’t look ideal — but it still works. Rocky 50 is coming fast.
