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. So whether you’re already a member of the ultra community or if you’re just ultra curious...Hit subscribe and let’s do this!

March 29, 2024 04:00 - 10 minutes - 7.2 MB

It would be this: DON'T QUIT.  Quitting will slow you down.  It'll chip away at your confidence and it will have you caught in a never ending cycle.  There's going to be lots of ups and downs on the path towards crossing the finish line of your race.  Some days you'll feel like you're on top of the world, you're firing on all cylinders, and like you're completely untouchable.   And then there will be days where quitting feels like the best & most humane option to put you out of your misery. ...

Ep. 207 - You're Not A Real Ultra Runner Unless...

February 09, 2024 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MB

I'm betting you've said this to yourself at least once or twice.  We all have a preconceived notion of what it means to be a "real" runner (or ultra runner).  For some of us it's based on how fast we run, or the number of times we run a week, or how far we run....and the list goes on.   We build these concepts up in our head based on our experiences, things we've seen or read or heard, maybe because of what someone said to us.  In today's episode I want to share a couple of stories that w...

Ep. 192 - This Is My Fatal Flaw When Choosing Races

November 20, 2023 05:00 - 14 minutes - 10.4 MB

One of my fatal flaws is that when I'm considering a race, I tend to evaluate whether other not I can do it based on my fitness right then in that moment.  I think: "Could I do this race right now?" 99% of the time, the answer is NO (obviously!) because I'm usually picking races when it's my off season or when I'm taking a break so while I might be fit, I'm certainly not race ready!  I'm asking myself the wrong question when trying to decide if I should do a race or not. So today I w...

Do you know the difference between heart rate training and rate of perceived exertion?  Back when I first started doing ultras, I had no clue about either one… I mean, I had heard of heart rate zones but I was thoroughly confused about how to integrate them into my training, so I didn’t! Not to mention that I thought that type of training was for elite runners and I’m clearly not one of them!   Fast forward to the present and I’ve used both of these methods to train for everything from 5...
