Send us Fan Mail

In part two of my chat with TJ Dailey he shares his remarkable journey from seeking validation through running to becoming an accomplished ultramarathoner, offering insights on perseverance, community, and adapting to challenges.

• Started ultra running after completing a marathon with his brother, progressing quickly from a 50K to a 100-miler in less than a year
• Discovered that ultra distances provide multiple "second winds" if you push through initial walls
• Led a team to victory in the Great American 5000 virtual race during the pandemic, with 24 people running all-out for an hour daily
• Currently adapting training after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis
• Draws inspiration from running legends Roger Bannister and Steve Prefontaine
• Recommends beginners find what specifically excites them about running and start with small, manageable efforts
• Suggests configuring running to fit your lifestyle rather than forcing yourself into a rigid program
• Using technology like Shokz headphones and stride pods to enhance the running experience
• Transitioning focus from personal records to producing events and supporting other athletes
