How Joey Miuccio Ran 111 Miles at the BPN G1M Ultra on 8 Weeks of Training — Pacing Strategy, Mindset, Why His Body Broke at Mile 100 and the Dilemma of the High Achiever

Joey Miuccio came to Texas undertrained, ran 111 miles, and cried in a chair. He'd do it all again.  

This one goes deeper than the G1M Ultra. Joey breaks down what actually separates a backyard ultra from Leadville. It'snot the distance, it's that you can never slow to a crawl. Every lap has a clock, and the clock doesn't care about your knee. 

He hit mile 85 feeling invincible, convinced he'd be out there forever. By mile 91 he was bargaining with himself again. 

The roller coaster never stops, and this conversation captures every drop of it.

There's a moment mid-race where Kendall Picado Fallas—still competing for the win—quietly falls in beside Joey and drags him through his 100-mile lap without being asked. That moment says everything about the culture inside the G1M Ultra that the highlight reels don't show.

But the conversation that lingers comes after the race recap. 

Joey gets honest about the trap of always chasing the next thing, why satisfaction has to live in the journey rather than the finish line, and what it felt like to hit 111 miles with minimal training and still wonder if he left something out there.
