Show notes
The name of Adam Merry's coaching company, "Run Merry," is a play on his surname, but it also describes his philosophy. He follows the advice of his coach, David Roche, to "smile as much as you can and try to be as uplifting to others as possible because it comes back to you."
His belief that having fun should be at the center of everything has served him well as a professional ultrarunner. In his three races last year, he finished first overall in the Run the Rock 50 miler, and second overall in the Sage Burner 50K and the Never Summer 100K. As a coach, he shares what he's learned on his running journey with clients all around the world.
