The Ultra Mindset

Travis Macy summited glacial peaks in the French Alps, rappelled into vast limestone caves in China, and ran through parched deserts in Utah. Most famously, he won one of the countrys marquee ultradistance events: Leadman, a highaltitude series of superlongdistance races, culminating with a 100mile mountain biking race and a 100mile trail run. Macy accomplished it without exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility, and without hightech performance labs or performanceenhancing drugs.His secret? A precise and particular outlook he calls the Ultra Mindset, principles for daily life that are neither mysterious nor the sole province of ascetics or elite athletes: embrace fear, rewrite stories we tell ourselves, and master the art of seeking help, among others. By applying the principles such as Its All Good Mental Training, When you have no choice, anything is possible, and Never quit...except when you should quit to other areas of life, anyone can find success that otherwise would have seemed impossible.Coauthored with awardwinning running writer and journalist John Hanc, The Ultra Mindset blends exciting personal memoir with actionable, researchbased advice. Dramatic stories of Macys farflung experiences in the professional enduranceracing world lead into relevant mindset principles, reflective selfassessments, mind and bodyenhancing workouts and activities, and compelling case studies. Macys stories keep the pages turning as you forge your own winning outlook for success in business, sports, and life.
