Why I do ultramarathons:

Most people think road marathons are the “entry point” to long distances… but they’re actually harder on your body than most ultras. Roads beat you up. Trails spread the load. And ultras give you permission to slow down, walk, and manage your effort. If you want to go further, stop treating pace like a religion. Shift the terrain, control the intensity, and your body will surprise you.

Zone 2 isn’t the magic pill everyone thinks it is. Train smart, not slow. If you want more no BS hybrid training breakdowns, feel free to follow along

💪 We can post your videos and photos in our page, follow the link in our bio @worlderunners and we will select your content. Road running is predictable, pace-driven, and perfect for building speed + fitness. Trail running is dynamic, skill-based, and turns running into an adventure — every step is different. There’s no “better”… just different tools to make you a stronger, more well-rounded athlete. Which do you prefer — ROAD or TRAIL? 👇 Drop your answer. 📷 @holistichybrid

Don’t forget it

This, and filling up my passport with stamps

People massively overcomplicate ultramarathons. You don’t need elite genetics, fancy shoes, or 120km weeks. You need the ability to walk, problem-solve, and stay calm when it gets uncomfortable. If you can walk for a very long time… you can finish an ultra. I teach people how to do this every day.

If you want a rite of passage in your life, run an ultramarathon. Not because it’s easy — but because it forces you to meet the version of yourself you’ve been avoiding. I trained for 3 weeks at 18 and finished my first ultra. Not because I was talented… but because I refused to quit. The point is absolutely anybody can do an ultramarathon.

🙌 You can check how to get your photos/videos promoted in our Instagram page, use the link in our bio: @RunningFervor Most people think you need to run 50km to finish an ultramarathon. You don’t. If you can walk for 10 hours, you can finish a 50k. It’s just steady forward movement — pace, fueling, mindset. The real barrier isn’t fitness… It’s belief. 📷🏃‍♂️ @holistichybrid

Stack sats, get healthy, and be more cringe

Most people dramatically underestimate what they’re capable of. You don’t need to be fast. You don’t need crazy mileage. You don’t even need to be a “runner.” What you do need is: • time on feet • patience • the willingness to walk • and a mindset that doesn’t crumble when discomfort shows up That’s why so many people finish 50–100 km ultras… and so many struggle through marathons. If you can walk all day, you can finish an ultra. The gap isn’t physical — it’s belief.

If you can walk for a day, you can finish an ultra. Most people think ultras belong to “elite athletes.” But the truth? They belong to anyone willing to keep moving. We’ve been conditioned to believe you need: ❌ 120 km weeks ❌ perfect genetics ❌ years of training ❌ some superhuman threshold for suffering You don’t. What you do need is: ✅ the patience to keep putting one foot in front of the other ✅ the humility to walk when you need to ❗ and the courage to attempt something bigger than your current identity Ultras aren’t about speed. They’re about time on feet, mindset, and managing your energy over hours, not minutes. That’s why so many “regular people” who train smart end up going further than lifelong runners who train dumb. If you can walk for 10–12 hours… If you can stay curious when things get uncomfortable… If you can keep your ego out of it… You can 100% finish an ultramarathon. I’m here to show you what your body is actually capable of when you train smarter, not harder. Follow along if you want to run further, feel stronger, and rewrite what you think is possible.

An open mind and a good program can get you a lot further than you think. Comment ‘Distance’ if you want the same program Tara used

Embarrassment is a highly unexplored emotion

Most runners don’t have an undertraining problem… they have a poorly structured training problem. If your mileage keeps going up but your body isn’t… you’re not progressing — you’re overreaching. Build the 4 pillars: skill, strength, intensity, recovery and watch your athleticism and running improve with LESS volume. Do you think high mileage is overrated?

This isn’t a normal ultra. It’s 150 km across one of the most surreal landscapes on Earth — dunes, limestone sculptures, star-filled skies, and four days of moving as a team. No cut-offs. Walking encouraged. Full support. A true desert expedition. In March 2026, we’re guiding 20 runners through the White Desert of Egypt. If you want in on this journey… Comment “DESERT” and we’ll send you the info. . . . . . . #desert #ultra #running #whitedesert #egypt #travel #backpacking #running #trails #fyp #explore #adventure

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable - Socrates

Most people think ultras require huge mileage, endless long runs, and sacrificing your entire life to training. The truth? You don’t need anywhere near as much volume as you’ve been told. Ultras reward efficiency — strength, hills, smart pacing, and knowing how to fuel and walk well. Train smarter, not more. Your body will thank you on race day.

Road vs trail — two worlds under one sport. Road running is predictable, pace-driven, and perfect for building speed + fitness. Trail running is dynamic, skill-based, and turns running into an adventure — every step is different. There’s no “better”… just different tools to make you a stronger, more well-rounded athlete.
