Diese Erfahrung war anders als alles, was ich bisher erlebt hatte. Der schwierigste Abschnitt f\u00fcr mich war das Erreichen der 50-km-Marke, da ich zuvor noch nie so weit gelaufen war und mir bewusst wurde, dass ich diese Distanz noch einmal verdoppeln musste. Heute wei\u00df ich, dass es bei jedem Ultramarathon einen Punkt gibt, an dem nichts mehr gro\u00df genug ist, um dich von den Schmerzen abzulenken, und es keine M\u00f6glichkeit gibt, deine Gef\u00fchle zu bet\u00e4uben. An diesem Punkt schien es mir unvorstellbar, das Ziel zu erreichen. Aber ich wollte auf keinen Fall aufgeben.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Ich war entschlossen, einen Fu\u00df vor den anderen zu setzen, und wusste um die Kraft der kumulativen Anstrengung. Mir kam ein Ratschlag des erfahrenen Ultral\u00e4ufers und Trainers Tim Locke in den Sinn: \u201cDenk daran, dass, wenn alles zu schmerzen beginnt, der Schmerz zwar nicht verschwindet, aber auch nicht schlimmer wird.\u201d Und ja, alles tat weh. Aber ich konnte damit leben. Wenn man den Schmerz anerkennt und sich ihm stellt, kann sich das Gleichgewicht verschieben und mentale Grenzen dauerhaft \u00fcberwinden. Das ist einer der Gr\u00fcnde, warum ich Ultra liebe. In diesem Moment hat sich mein Leben f\u00fcr immer ver\u00e4ndert.<br\/>\n<br\/>Es war <strong>unter null Grad, Hagel<\/strong> und ich hatte eine solide <strong>8 Stunden Lauf vor mir<\/strong> \u2013 teilweise \u00fcber steile und rutschige Lehmh\u00fcgel, Treppen und Sand. Meine Knie waren nicht gerade gl\u00fccklich dar\u00fcber, aber aufgeben kam nicht in Frage. Der Ratschlag meiner Ultra-Laufkollegen vor dem Rennen lautete: \u201cDas Training f\u00fcr einen 100-km-Lauf ist nicht <em>dass <\/em>anders als beim Training f\u00fcr einen 50-km-Lauf, man muss einfach <em>wird <\/em>deinen Weg durch die hintere H\u00e4lfte.\u201d Ich hielt das f\u00fcr unm\u00f6glich und potenziell verr\u00fcckt.<em>. <\/em>Aber seltsamerweise habe ich das auch selbst erlebt. Im Grunde habe ich meine vermeintliche Grenze erreicht und sie dann verdoppelt. Das Rennen zu beenden hatte nichts damit zu tun, ein \u201cbegnadeter\u201d L\u00e4ufer zu sein oder die Kilometer m\u00fchelos hinter mich zu bringen. Ich habe meine <strong>K\u00f6rnung<\/strong> und grub tief.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Diese Erfahrung begleitet mich jeden Tag.<\/strong> \u2013 sei es beim Umgang mit Konflikten, beim Aufstehen um 5 Uhr morgens oder sogar beim Durchhalten unter weniger als idealen Umst\u00e4nden. Es ist, als w\u00fcrde ich eine innere Kraft kanalisieren, von der ich vorher nicht einmal wusste, dass sie in mir steckt.\nEs ist die Bereitschaft, ein Training durchzuziehen, bei dem ich fr\u00fcher aufgegeben h\u00e4tte. Es ist das Nicht-Aufgeben und das Wissen, dass ich jeden Tag mit einem Schritt (oder einem Zentimeter oder einem schwereren Gewicht) meinem Ziel n\u00e4her komme und dass auch Sie es schaffen werden!

The experience was unlike anything I\u2019d had before. The hardest section for me was reaching the 50km mark, never having run further than that before in my life and realising that I needed to double that distance. I now know that there is a point in every Ultra marathon where nothing is large enough to distract you from the pain, no way to numb how you feel. At that point, the concept of finishing seemed inconceivable.

And yes, everything hurt. But I could sit with it. Acknowledging and stepping into pain allows the scales to tip and mental limitations permanently shift. This is one of the reasons I love Ultra.

Finishing that race was in no way about being a \u201cblessed\u201d runner or breezing through the kilometres, I found my \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;grit\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and dug deep.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;This experience is with me every day\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; \u2013 whether in dealing with conflict, getting up at 5am or even soldiering on in circumstances that are less than ideal.

The experience was unlike anything I\u2019d had before. The hardest section for me was reaching the 50km mark, never having run further than that before in my life and realising that I needed to double that distance. I now know that there is a point in every Ultra marathon where nothing is large enough to distract you from the pain, no way to numb how you feel. At that point, the concept of finishing seemed inconceivable.

An advice from experienced Ultra runner and coach Tim Locke came to my mind: \u201cremember that when everything starts to hurt, the pain won\u2019t go away but it won\u2019t get worse\u201d. And yes, everything hurt. But I could sit with it. Acknowledging and stepping into pain allows the scales to tip and mental limitations permanently shift. This is one of the reasons I love Ultra. I was forever changed in that moment.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;It was \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;sub zero degrees, hailing\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and I had a solid \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;8 hour run ahead of me\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; \u2013 some of which involved running over steep and slippery clay hills, stairs and sand.

It was essentially reaching my perceived limit and then doubling it.
