What book has completely changed your life? For me: Born to Run, the story of the Tarahumara Indians, who are renown for their everyday ultraendurance feats. I read the book in 2017, shortly after my first marathon, and decided that I was going to try ultrarunning myself. Seven years and nine ultramarathons later, ultrarunning has become one of my greatest passions. This past Saturday I ran the North Sea Ultra, 112K around the island of Sylt, in just under 14 hours, my fastest 100k+ ultra so far. Back in 2017, I could've never imagined pushing my limits this far. I strongly believe this has made me better at dealing with stress, with emotions, and improved my mental well-being overall. I'm going to continue to see how far I can push these limits. Step by step. #ultrarunning #worklifebalance #continuousimprovement
