Part 5/9:
For long-time ultrarunners, understanding their “why” can be a crucial aspect of enjoying the journey. It is imperative to transition from placing all significance on the finish line to valuing the process of training itself. As the narrator points out, accomplishment should not solely define one’s experience. Rather, the joy of ultrarunning can arise from the community fostered, personal growth attained, and the simple pleasures along the trails – a shift that can offer a sense of purpose beyond just race completion.
