Interview with Stefano Ruzza

In this episode of “Mind and Performance,” Massimiliano Spini, Coach and Ultrarunner, interviews Stefano Ruzza, the very strong Italian Ultra Trailer who moved to the United States about a year ago.

Stefano Ruzza is among the strongest Italian ultrarunners. He boasts an impressive list of victories, impossible to list them all. He achieved the second-best performance ever by an Italian at the prestigious Mont Blanc Ultra Trail, one of the most famous mountain ultramarathons in the world.

How important is the mental aspect for performance in endurance disciplines? Where can the motivation be found to support high training loads? What lessons does the ultrarunning teaches that we can apply to everyday life?
