Training for ultras while juggling a digital career is no joke. Coding all day, building the next best thing, and then lacing up for hours-long runs? It sounds impossible—until it becomes your lifestyle. My journey with FitGit.me has helped me build the kind of habit building that turns excuses into mileage and fatigue into fire.
Pacing Myself in a Fast-Paced Industry
As a developer, it’s easy to get swallowed by screens and deadlines. But long runs offer the stillness I need to mentally reboot. Every trail helps me debug my mind. When I feel burnout creeping in, I run—not away from work, but into a version of myself that can handle it better.
Motivation Isn’t Magic—It’s Muscle
Some days I wake up excited to run. Most days, I don’t. That’s where habit building matters. FitGit.me taught me to anchor action in daily structure. Habit is the bridge between who I am at the keyboard and who I am at mile 27.
Digital Fuel for Physical Fire
I mix my worlds. I graph my runs, code recovery reminders into my calendar, and use progress journals like this to stay grounded. My training might look analog, but it’s all powered by the strategic mindset from the digital grind.
The truth? Running helps me be a better creator. And creating keeps me hungry for the next run.
Always remember to TTFBs!!!
