Ep. 281 - Freaking Out Doesn't Help! How To Keep Your Cool When Sh*t Hits The Fan
You missed a workout. Your knee feels weird. You forgot your gels.Cue the internal freak-out... right?In this episode, we’re talking about something that every runner deals with—making things a way bigger deal than they actually are. Whether it's a bad run, a missed session, or some mid-race drama, it's so easy to spin out and convince yourself that your entire race is doomed. (Spoiler alert: it’s not.)I'll share a couple stories that will illustrate my point (both in day-to-day life and in ultra running.) If you're training for your first ultra—or your fifth—and you're constantly questioning “is this a big deal?”... this one’s for you.💃🏻 JOIN THE 30-DAY SHAKEDOWN CHALLENGE 🛍️ SHOP THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS STORE ⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS COACHING MEMBERSHIP📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM

What is your limit?In this tough-love episode, I’m sharing a question that’s been bouncing around in my head as I train for Moab 240—and why it might just change the way you think about your running (and your life).We’re talking self-imposed limits, fear of failure, DNFs, and why most runners never even get close to discovering what they’re truly capable of.If you’ve ever thought “I could never do that…”—this one’s for you.Hit play and let’s go there. 👊💃🏻 JOIN THE 30-DAY SHAKEDOWN CHALLENGE 🛍️ SHOP THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS STORE ⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS COACHING MEMBERSHIP📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM

Ep. 278 - Drummer Hill 50k Recap
In this episode, I recap my day at the rainy, rocky, and rooty Drummer Hill 50K—a small, looped trail race in New Hampshire with surprise crew support, soaking wet trails, and a whole lotta mud. I break down each lap, from smooth sailing in lap one to survival mode in lap four (spoiler: it rained *a lot*). We talk slippery bridges, mental battles, perimenopause aches, and why this race was all about practicing—not racing. Plus, a shoutout to bug spray, quesadillas, and the power of showing up.💃🏻 JOIN THE 30-DAY SHAKEDOWN CHALLENGE 🛍️ SHOP THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS STORE ⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS COACHING MEMBERSHIP📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM

Ep. 277 - The Walk / Run Gradient
At the gym the other day, someone asked me:“Got any advice for a fat guy who wants to start running… asking for a friend?” 😄That sparked a convo about something I always teach runners—whether you’re training for your first 5K or your first 100-miler:👉 Start with walking.👉 Build from there.👉 Use the Walk/Run Gradient.In this episode, I’m breaking down my favorite strategy for building endurance without wrecking your body in the process. We’re talking about:Why walking workouts absolutely countWhat people get wrong about “time on feet”How to use the walk/run gradient to level up safelyWhy this applies to every distance, from 5K to 200MThis is the foundation I use with clients inside my She Runs Ultras coaching membership—and honestly?

She Runs Ultras is about (yup, you guessed it) running ultras. Lots of other running podcasts out there are full of gear & race reviews and interviews with the experts telling unrelatable stories about their record breaking times and super human feats. Now…don’t get me wrong, I’ve learned some great stuff from those podcasts...But what about those of us that aren’t getting paid to do this?Those of us that are mid to back of the pack runners?And those of us that have never won a damn thing? What was out there for us? Yeah, I couldn’t find it - so I decided to make it! And it just so happens that I’m getting geared up to start training for some races in 2021. So throughout this series, I’ll share what really happens when a typical, non-professional runner takes on the challenge of running an ultra. Got some races planned for this year? Let’s train together.From the emotional & physical ups and downs, to the details of my actual training plan, and the excitement (not to mention nerves) that build as race day gets closer...I promise not to hold anything back.
