In our latest episode of BLACKYAK Made For Missions, host Matthias Giraud talks with ultrarunner Mike Kratzer about what real endurance looks like beyond the numbers. For Mike, movement is daily practice and creative expression - less hype, more presence and consistency.
Together they discuss the highs and lows of long distances, why structure matters more than raw motivation, and why progress often just means lacing up and heading in the right direction. Mike shares how he keeps training varied, stays flexible when plans fall apart, and puts process over outcome.
This episode is a reminder that “mission” isn’t a single goal, but a mindset: curious, disciplined, and ready for whatever the trail brings.
