What would it take for you to run over 100 miles? My guest today is an amazing runner who knows what s it like to train up to crazy distances and maintain his sanity along the way. This is The 5 am Miracle Episode #145: Running 100 Miles with Doug Hay [Intro Song] Good morning and welcome to the 145th episode of The 5 AM Miracle. I am Jeff Sanders and this is THE podcast dedicated

3 3 to dominating your day before breakfast. Every Monday morning my goal is to help you bounce out of bed with enthusiasm, create powerful lifelong habits, and tackle your grandest goals with extraordinary energy. Here on The 5 AM Miracle Podcast we discuss early mornings, and we dive deep into topics like healthy habits, personal development, and rockin productivity! This week I interview Doug Hay, an accomplished ultramarathon runner and host of the Trail Talk Podcast. Doug and I talk about his journey to build up to running over 100 miles and how you can get started on your own endurance adventure. But first, if you would like a simple solution to guarantee you always accomplish your daily habits, I think you will love my Daily Rituals Template. This is a very simple spreadsheet designed for you to monitor your most important daily habits and easily see how well you are doing each week. This is the same template I use each and every day to manage my own habits, and it totally works. To get your free copy of this awesome template, Join The 5 AM 5amMiracle.com.

4 4 Now, let s begin with the Tip of the Week! [Fade Music Up and Out] This week s Tip is a great app for staying on top of your own personal development. Ryan Foley, a long time listener of this show, recommended Reflect for Evernote to me last week and it immediately caught my attention. Reflect for Evernote connects to your Evernote account and, on your predetermined schedule, sends you reminder notifications on a recurring basis to read articles you have saved, look at notes you have taken, or review ideas you have recorded, but never got around to processing. For example, let s say you tagged a series of notes in your Evernote account with the hashtag, personal development. You could use the Reflect app to send you an once a day for the next week with a personal development note you had previously saved for yourself. In this way, you could create a daily review period for your own growth without having to go digging through your notes or try to remember to carve out time.

5 5 Of course, you don t have to limit yourself to personal development. You could tag any notes in your Evernote database and send yourself reminders for anything, so the flexibility of this app is pretty amazing. There is a link in the show notes to get this free app, which works on Windows, Android, and ios. You do need an Evernote account, and you can get that for free as well. [Fade In Spring in My Step ] Just before we dive into this week s feature segment I want to tell you a little more about Nozbe.
