MWM Episode 91 - Don't Listen to That Voice
That voice will show up.
“Just give up.”
In this episode, David shares a real, honest moment from a sleepless night filled with worry—and the familiar whisper that tries to convince us to quit.
Whether it’s in the middle of a long run or a difficult season of life, the battle is often not physical—it’s mental.
Drawing on years of ultrarunning experience, this episode breaks down:
Why that voice sounds so reasonable
How it shows up in both running and life
What happens when we start agreeing with it
And how to push forward even when you don’t feel strong
Anchored by a quote from Babe Ruth:
“It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”
This is a reminder that you don’t have to eliminate the voice—you just have to stop listening to it.
