Hey Matt, thank you for doing an AMA and also thank you for being awesome! I love your website, reading your stories really made me realise that I could run a marathon, even if I've never been the "sporty type". Your book Marathon Roadmap helped me achieve my first marathon, it has been an amazing experience. Completing that marathon made me realise I could do anything if I just set my mind to it. While that is really empowering, it also scares me a little. Running a marathon takes a lot of work and devotion. I can only imagine how much work and dedication an ultra would take. How do you decide what to set as your next goal? In the months of training in advance, do you ever doubt yourself and wonder if you really should or want to spend so much of your time and energy on it, while you could also be doing something else?
