Mental Performance for Ultrarunning and Training for 100 Milers with Sierra Morris
06/08/2026 | 1 h 16 minIn this episode, Sierra Moore Morris, just weeks after her first 100-mile finish at the Vermont 100, unpacks the mental skills that helped her navigate one of endurance sport's toughest challenges. From managing self-doubt, handling pain, setbacks, and the inevitable emotional highs and lows that every ultrarunner faces.
If you've ever struggled with consistency or wondered how the best ultrarunners stay mentally strong when things get hard, this episode will give you tools you can put into practice immediately.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why your mental training deserves as much attention as your physical training.
Techniques to stop negative thought spirals before they take over.
How to stay present when your mind jumps ahead or gets stuck in the past.
Why every emotion during an ultra is temporary, and how to use that to your advantage.
How celebrating small wins throughout training builds race-day resilience.
The mental strategies Sierra relied on during her first 100-mile finish—and why they'll help you become a stronger ultrarunner.

Free Supplement Guide for Ultrarunners: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mhp3vKx1uJPU1-i9F03BVzZdDRiUHCk85HF7pjthoVM/edit?usp=sharing - I ran the Badwater 135 this past week, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done.
The mental battles I faced out there were unlike any other; combine that with fatigue coming off racing Western States 100 one month prior, 120+ degree temps, and tons of climbing, this was a battle.
In this episode, we go through the play-by-play of the whole race, along with tips, strategies, and lessons to help you overcome any challenge you face in an ultramarathon.
Q&A portion will be released tomorrow in a separate episode!
