Chris Stapleton's Bad As I Used To Be pulls Nate through some race time lows, but what else does music do for him?

And whenever I go to the trails, I do full country.

I'm a Christian, so, um, I do like Zach Williams, and then also I do like Chris Stapleton.

Those are, like, two of my favorite, and, and they're both, like, Tennessee country boys, and it just kind of blends in with the background.

And what that does is that that gives you something to focus on mentally.

You are focused on what your body's doing, but it kind of makes that mental barrier where it, it, where you're not fully thinking about, oh, this, this sucks, I'm in the pain cave.

It gives you something else to focus on.
