In this episode of Run the Riot, we reconnect with ultrarunner, coach, and all-around adventurer Ben Light. It’s been a few years since Ben first appeared on the podcast, and in that time, he’s continued to push boundaries—not only in his personal ultrarunning pursuits but also in helping others embrace challenges and discover their potential.

Ben shares invaluable insights into the power of mindset when tackling life’s toughest races—whether it’s a 200-miler or the challenges we all face daily. He discusses the lessons learned from crewing, coaching, and racing while juggling his latest ventures, including launching new trail races and his unique “crew for hire” service.
