What if the secret to becoming a better runner and a better person is simply saying "yes" to hard things?
In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I sit down with ultrarunner and coach Deb Hamberlin to talk about a lifetime of chasing challenges, embracing discomfort, and discovering what's possible on the other side of fear.
From growing up as a swimmer to completing some of the toughest 200-mile races around, Deb shares the lessons she's learned through decades of endurance sports. We talk about the highs, the lows, and why the small decisions we make every day often matter more than the big ones.
In this episode, we discuss:
Deb's journey into ultrarunning
Racing everything from marathons to 200-milers
Why saying "yes" to hard things has shaped her life
Balancing running, coaching, family, and everyday life
Staying competitive and motivated as we get older
Navigating injury, recovery, and hormonal changes
The incredible community that makes ultrarunning so special
Why having fun should never disappear from your training
Whether you're training for your first ultra or your fiftieth, Deb's perspective is a reminder that growth doesn't happen by accident, it happens when we're willing to step outside our comfort zones.
This conversation is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and plenty of inspiration to help you tackle your next big goal.
