If you've ever let your watch dictate how you feel about your training, this episode will change the way you think about progress.

This episode breaks down the difference between the metrics that actually make you a stronger ultra runner and the ones that create unnecessary stress, helping you focus on the data that truly matters while tuning out the noise. Instead of chasing flashy numbers, you'll learn how to measure real progress, make smarter training decisions, and build confidence in your fitness.

In this episode, you'll learn:
• Which metrics actually predict ultra marathon performance.
• Why your watch may be giving you misleading information.
• The overlooked feedback that can improve your training.
• How to measure recovery and know when to push or back off.
• How simplifying your data can make you a stronger, more confident ultra runner.
