This episode of For The Long Run is with Elliott Beach. Husband, dog dad, and avid middle-to-back of the pack hobby jogger, Elliot’s transformation from pandemic-onset runner to ultramarathoner is both remarkable and relatable. Motivated by gratitude, community, and pushing beyond any limits and fears, we talk about all of this and much more! Outside of running, Elliot identifies as a fraternity professional, helping to educate undergraduate men on public health and safety.

In this episode we talk about: 

-pandemic hobby jogger to ultra marathoner

-why we do hard things: unhealthy motivations and run streaks

-the power of deep focus and connection

-finding community

-backyard ultras: challenging fears and the unknown
