This episode is your race day pep talk. Originally written for my clients running the Mamba, I’m sharing it because every runner deserves someone in her corner.

We’re talking about letting those pre-race nerves happen, trusting the habits you’ve built, handling the ups and downs, and remembering why you chose this adventure in the first place.

Save this one for your next race morning or send it to a friend who needs a little extra encouragement ❤️

I’m proud of you.

Ever looked at a race and thought, “Who am I to think I can do this?”

After a follower’s email about a tight race cutoff and imposter syndrome, I started thinking about what we make it mean when a goal feels out of reach.

In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between being inexperienced and being an imposter, how comparison can mess with your confidence, and why you don’t have to feel ready before you start preparing.

In this episode I'm chatting with one of the top female ultra runners in the Northeast, Erica Notini.  In 2025, she was the first place female at Jigger Johnson 100 miler, second at Bubba's Backyard (with 150.5 miles), and second at Southern States 200 with a finishing time of 76:59:52.  In 2026 she placed second at both White Lakes Ultra and Bubba's Backyard.  Erica also shares about her through hike of the Appalachian Trail and how she chose to live out of her car in order to experience more of the outdoors.  Enjoy!

One hard run and suddenly you’re “not cut out for ultras"??? What about all the runs you’ve completed, the progress you’ve made, and the things you’ve figured out along the way?

If you’re looking for reasons you can’t run an ultra, you’ll find them. In this episode, I’m calling bullshit on the one-sided case you might be building against yourself.

We’re going to talk about:

• How your doubts start feeling like facts.
• The progress you might be overlooking.
• A simple way to catch yourself talking yourself out of your goal.

You can’t think your way across a finish line. But you can give yourself a fair chance to get there by shifting the way that you look at things!

What does coaching inside the She Runs Ultras membership actually sound like?

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent Office Hours call. You’ll hear real members bring up the questions, decisions, and challenges they’re working through and how I help them figure out what makes sense for their training, goals, and real lives.

This conversation has been edited to protect everyone’s privacy, but the coaching itself is real.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’ll receive personalized help inside the membership or what it would feel like to be coached by me, this episode will give you a peek inside.

✏️ Applications for the She Runs Ultras membership are open through September 30th, 2026.  You can find the link below!

For the final episode in this series, I’m passing the mic(sort of) to several women inside the She Runs Ultras membership who have already made the jump to ultra  running.

They’re sharing what scared them before their first 50K, what they got wrong, what surprised them, and what they wish they had known when they started. We’re talking about belonging, walking, flexible race plans, unexpected problems, and discovering that your body may be capable of much more than you think.

If you’re considering your first 50K but still wondering whether you have what it takes, let these women remind you: you don’t need to become someone else before you begin.A

In this episode, I’m walking you through the same coaching process I use inside the She Runs Ultras membership. 

We’ll define your destination, take an honest look at your starting point, identify the biggest constraint standing between you and your goal, and organize your priorities into what to focus on now, build next, address later, and ignore for the time being.

This process will help you create the clarity, consistency, and confidence you need to keep moving toward your first 50K without getting overwhelmed by everything you think you “should” be doing.

Applications for the She Runs Ultras coaching membership are open through September 30, 2026. 

You’ll also find links to my free 8-Week Base Building Plan and Run Your First 50K Facebook group in the show notes.

Choosing your first 50K can feel like a catch-22: how do you choose a race that matches your abilities when you’ve never run that distance before?

In this episode, I’m sharing two unconventional tips to help you choose a first 50K that gives you a fair opportunity to succeed. 

We’ll talk about why you shouldn’t stack too many “firsts” into one race and why your first 50K should give you enough room to make mistakes, adjust, and learn as you go.

You don’t need to find the easiest race or guarantee your finish. You need to choose a challenge that allows you to be a successful beginner!

Are you ready to start training for a 50K or do you still feel like you need to become a stronger, faster, more experienced runner first?

In this episode, I’m sharing nine signs that you may be ready to begin training for your first 50K. We’ll talk about the difference between being ready to train for the distance and being ready to run it today, why you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start, and which qualities matter more than speed or weekly mileage.

You’ll learn how consistency, available training time, recovery, fueling, walking, and your willingness to learn all factor into your readiness. And if you discover you’re not quite ready yet, you’ll know exactly what to work on next!

You don’t need absolute confidence or proof that you can already cover the distance. 

You need an honest starting point, enough time to prepare, and a willingness to do the work.

If you’ve completed a 25K and you’re wondering whether you could ever run a 50K, this episode is for you!

In the first episode of my new 25K to 50K series, we’re talking about why a 50K isn’t simply “twice as hard,” the skills you’ve already developed that will transfer to ultrarunning, and the new skills you’ll build during training.

I’ll also explain the difference between being ready to run a 50K and being ready to begin training for one, why you don’t need to get faster at the 25K distance first, and why you shouldn’t wait until you feel completely confident to consider signing up.

Running your first 50K doesn’t require you to become an entirely different runner. It requires expansion—not reinvention.

📣 Big news: I’m hosting my very own ultra in October 2027!

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve decided so far, why I chose a timed race on a looped course, and how this format will help women make the leap into ultras without the pressure of traditional distances and cutoffs.

I’ll also be documenting the entire process of creating this event and inviting you to help shape it along the way.

If you’ve been waiting until you feel completely ready to do something big, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to know exactly how it will work before you begin.

What if more than half of the accounts you're seeing online aren't even real?

In this episode, I'm talking about a statistic that completely changed the way I think about social media and why every runner should think twice before accepting training advice, motivation, or inspiration from the internet at face value.

I also share why I've intentionally chosen not to fill this podcast with sponsorships, affiliate deals, or ads, and why protecting the trust of this community will always matter more to me than chasing another revenue stream.

If you've ever wondered who you should actually listen to when it comes to your training, this episode is for you.

What if one of the biggest things holding you back as a runner isn't your fitness...

...it's your thinking?

In this episode, I'm sharing a funny story from my small New Hampshire town that turned into a much bigger coaching lesson about tradition, assumptions, and why "we've always done it that way" might be one of the most limiting phrases in endurance sports.

If you've ever found yourself wondering whether there's a better way to train, recover, or prepare for your races, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why tradition isn't always the best guide.
• How unquestioned beliefs can quietly hold back your progress.
• The difference between doing something because it's familiar versus because it works.
• A simple question to ask yourself that can improve every part of your training.

If this episode gets you thinking, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a DM on Instagram @sherunsultras or reply to this week's email and tell me:

What's one thing in your training you've been doing simply because "that's how you've always done it?"

After nearly a decade of coaching ultrarunners, I've started to notice certain patterns that immediately make me pay closer attention.

They're not guarantees that something will go wrong...but they are red flags that often lead to injury, burnout, missed goals, or unnecessary frustration if they're ignored.

In this episode, I'm sharing the 10 things that make me nervous as a coach—from blindly following a training plan and making huge jumps in mileage to being afraid to walk, obsessing over missed runs, and chasing the next magic bullet.

If you're training for your first (or farthest) ultra, this episode will help you identify potential blind spots before they become bigger problems.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "just following the plan" isn't always the best strategy
• The training mistakes that most often lead to injury or burnout
• How fear quietly influences your training decisions
• Why consistency beats perfection every time
• When it's time to ask for help before things blow up

If you'd like a second set of experienced eyes on your training, check out Training Plan Triage, my personalized review service designed to help you catch potential issues before they derail your race.

If you are not attempting things before you feel 100% ready, then you're missing out!  This week's episode is based around the idea that you need to: "Go Before You Are Ready" in order to accomplish your ultra goals.  Waiting until you're confident in your ability will result in you waiting indefinitely.  Cue this up for your next workout and really embrace this idea in ONE SMALL WAY today, and then again tomorrow, and the day after that, and so on and so forth.

Ever notice how the people around you have plenty of opinions about your ultra running? In this episode, I'm sharing a simple encounter with a bear in my neighborhood that turned into a powerful coaching lesson about fear, beliefs, and why so many runners unknowingly carry around stories that aren't actually their own.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why the same situation can lead to completely different reactions based on our beliefs.
• How friends, family, social media, and even other runners unknowingly pass their limiting beliefs onto us.
• The importance of questioning where your thoughts about training, aging, injury, and performance actually came from.
• How separating facts from borrowed beliefs can completely change your training and your confidence.

Remember: Just because someone hands you a belief doesn't mean you have to carry it. 😎

This week I'm chatting with my friend, Sian Milne, about strength & mobility for runners.  Sian is a former stunt woman for the film industry turned strength & mobility coach, and a runner on top of that!  So she knows a thing or two about bodies and how to keep them strong and resilient.  The biggest takeaway that I hope you get from this episode is this: You cannot become a stronger runner by just running.  There will come a point when you'll hit a barrier, and the only way to break through is with strength & mobility.  Enjoy!

We're officially halfway through the year...so how's your training going?

Whether your goal race is just around the corner or still months away, now is the perfect time to pause and check in. In this episode, I'm sharing a simple mindset shift that has completely changed the way I approach ultra training—and it's one I think every runner needs to hear.

If you've been waiting for the "perfect" stretch of training with no aches, no schedule conflicts, and no life interruptions...you're going to be waiting forever.

Because here's the truth:

There's always going to be something.

Let's talk about how accepting that reality can help you stay consistent, keep your momentum, and stop letting every setback feel like the end of your training cycle.

Last weekend, I headed to Arizona to crew and coach a handful of She Runs Ultras athletes at the Hypnosis Night Race - an overnight trail event put on Aravaipa Running.

The conditions were brutal: triple-digit temperatures, relentless wind, blowing sand, and miles of technical desert terrain in the dark.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• What it was like to race through the Arizona desert at night
• Why every ultrarunner will eventually face a DNF
• The question I asked that completely changed how one athlete viewed her race
• Why finish lines aren't the only measure of success
• The hidden value of a DNF—and why it might be one of the most important experiences you can have as an ultrarunner

Because sometimes the biggest win isn't crossing the finish line.

Sometimes it's walking away with lessons, skills, and experience you'll carry into every race that comes after.

In this episode, I'm sharing my 10 Training Plan Commandments.  The rules I've learned after years of coaching athletes and watching the same training mistakes show up over and over again.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• Why adding extra workouts can derail your progress
• What to do when you miss a run
• How to stop overreacting to one bad workout
• Why your easy runs should actually be easy
• The role recovery plays in making a training plan work
• How comparison can pull you away from your own training
• Why the most effective training habits are usually the least exciting
• How to stop negotiating with yourself when it's time to train
• What happens during the taper and why you shouldn't panic
• Why enjoying the process matters if you want to make it to race day

If you've ever questioned your fitness, worried that you're not doing enough, or felt tempted to rewrite your training plan halfway through a training cycle, this episode is for you.

Most runners think they need more motivation, discipline, or a better training plan.

But what if the bigger factor is the environment you're training in?

In this episode, Meghan explores how the people around you, the content you consume, and the systems you've built into your life can either support your ultra goals or make them harder than they need to be.

In this episode:

• How the people around you shape what feels possible
• Why consistency has more to do with environment than motivation
• The hidden impact of social media, podcasts, and online communities
• Practical ways to create an environment that supports your goals
• Why you don't have to figure out ultrarunning on your own

If you're training for your first or farthest ultra, this episode is for you.

A lot of runners (especially first-time 50k runners) feel like they need to run the full race distance before race day just to prove they can do it.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why I don’t recommend that approach… but also sharing how I’d coach someone through it if they were absolutely dead set on doing it anyway 🙃

We’re talking about:

• why timing matters more than you think
• the difference between a race simulation and an actual race
• how to avoid turning one long run into a recovery disaster
• why “harder” isn’t always smarter
• and why leaving a little mystery for race day might actually help you perform better

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I just need to know I can do it…” this episode is for you.

Caught up in the excitement of the coverage and impulsively signed up for an ultra? 😅

You are definitely not alone.

In this episode I’m talking about the very real “OH SH*T” moment that can happen after the adrenaline wears off and the reality of training starts to sink in.

We’ll walk through 6 important things to think about before you panic-cancel your race registration — including timelines, training readiness, schedule realities, fears, mindset, and why that spark of inspiration matters more than you think.

If you recently signed up for your first ultra (or you’re seriously thinking about it), this episode will help you slow down, get grounded, and figure out your next best step.

In this episode, I’m talking about something a lot of runners believe and that is you only “earn” the right to wear race gear if you finish.

After my DNF at the Moab 240 in 2025, I couldn’t bring myself to wear the hoodie I bought at the race. It sat in my closet for months because, in my mind, I hadn’t “earned” it.

But over time, my perspective shifted.

This episode is about what that hoodie represents now.

More importantly, I talk about:

• Why DNFs aren’t something to be afraid of
• How setbacks can actually sharpen your approach
• And why nothing in this sport comes easy (even when you think you’re prepared)

If you’ve ever struggled with a race that didn’t go your way, this one’s for you.

With races like the Arizona Monster and Cocodona 250 bringing overnight running into focus, this episode tackles a common question: should you train for sleep deprivation?

Short answer: no.

Sleep deprivation isn’t a trainable skill. It doesn’t improve performance and it comes with real downsides like poor decision-making, slower reaction time, increased injury risk, and reduced recovery.

Instead, focus on what does help:

• Build skills (running in the dark, using your gear, managing effort, mental toughness)
• Get strategic exposure (early mornings, post-sunset runs, occasional overnight efforts without forcing sleep loss)

We also cover how to handle the “witching hour” (2–5 AM) and why being well-rested, fueled, and properly tapered matters more than trying to “practice” exhaustion.

What would your training look like if you didn’t have access to social media, Google, podcasts…or even this one?

In this episode, we explore what “old school” training might teach you about consistency, confidence, and actually making progress without all the noise. From learning to trust your body to stepping away from constant comparison, this is a conversation about simplifying your approach so you can focus on what really matters.

You’ll hear a real client story about what happened when she took a break from scrolling and why less input might be the key to better results.

If your training feels chaotic, overwhelming, or like you’re constantly second-guessing yourself…this one’s for you.

Bottom line:
More information isn’t always better. Sometimes the fastest way forward is to tune out the noise, trust the process, and just keep showing up.

What happens to all the gear you don’t use anymore?

In this episode, I’m talking with Jes Parker, founder of Take 2 Trail - a platform built to give trail running gear a second life.

We talk about the real cost of this sport, the amount of waste most runners don’t think about, and how rehoming gear can make trail running more accessible for everyone.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• How Take 2 Trail got started
• The cost (and waste) problem in trail running
• Why used gear matters more than you think
• Making the sport more accessible for new runners

In this episode, I'm chatting with Badwater 135 finisher, Peggy Ward.  Peggy has an impressive ultra resume including multiple 50 & 100 mile races where she has placed overall or in her age group.  One of the most exciting things about Peggy, at least in my opinion, is that she didn't start running ultras until she was 42 years old.  So for any of you that think you're "too old" to run an ultra, think again!!!

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m too slow… too old… not cut out for this…” — this episode is going to hit close to home. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and most toxic) patterns I see in runners: negative self-talk that sabotages your training before you ever get to race day.

After reading through recent coaching applications, so many women are holding themselves back not because of their training…but because of the story they’re telling themselves about their abilities. 

We’ll talk about:

• Why “talking shit to yourself” is more harmful than any missed workout
• How self-doubt shows up (and disguises itself) in your training
• The problem with fake hype, affirmations, and trying to “force confidence”
• How to shift your mindset in a way that actually feels believable
• Simple ways to reframe fear, failure, and lack of confidence into something useful

This episode is part mindset coaching, part reality check and it’s especially for anyone who feels like they’re doing the work physically…but getting in their own way mentally.

Because at the end of the day, you can’t expect to overcome a challenge if you’re the one creating it.

When you think about “successful” ultra training…your brain probably goes straight to outcomes.

Finishing. PRs. Going farther than you ever have before.

But here’s the problem…That’s not where success actually lives.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why successful ultra training is process-based not outcome-based and why focusing only on the end result is the fastest way to stall your progress.

We’ll talk about:

• Why outcomes (like finishing a race or hitting a time goal) are just moments in time—not the full picture
• The real, unsexy “wins” that actually drive progress (and why you’re probably overlooking them)
• How focusing only on mileage can back you into a corner
• What to do when you hit that inevitable “freak out” moment in training
• How to build a process that actually works for your life, schedule, and starting point
• Why consistency, awareness, and small daily actions matter more than any single workout

If you’ve been chasing a goal for a while and feel like you’re not getting anywhere…

This episode will help you zoom out, reset, and start looking at your training in a way that actually leads to progress.

Because at the end of the day:

Process over outcome. Every single time.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things…reading the articles, trying the plans, tweaking your training and yet somehow your progress feels stalled?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common ways runners unknowingly sabotage their training especially in the age of social media and endless online advice.

When you’re not sure what to do, it’s easy to start grabbing ideas from everywhere:
a training plan here, a workout there, a tip from someone in a Facebook group…

Before long you’re trying seven different approaches at once and wondering why nothing seems to be working.

In this episode, I’m sharing a message from a coaching client that perfectly illustrates this trap and why constantly changing plans, piling on more training, or chasing quick reassurance can actually derail your progress.

We’ll talk about:

• Why doing more training often makes things worse
• The hidden downside of following too many plans at once
• Why most runners abandon a strategy before it ever has time to work
• How reflection and patience are the real keys to long-term progress

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your training is a little chaotic lately… this episode will help you take a step back and get refocused.

Somewhere along the way, a lot of women start downplaying their running goals.

“It’s just a 50K.”
“I mean… there are people running way farther than me.”

In this episode, I’m stepping in as the 🧚 Permission Fairy 🧚 and officially giving you permission to want what you want when it comes to running your first or farthest ultra.

We’ll talk about why so many women hesitate to go after bigger running goals, the subtle ways we minimize our own ambitions, and why giving yourself permission is often the first step toward doing something you didn’t think was possible.

Permission granted!

In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what it feels like when your body stops responding the way it used to and how perimenopause has shifted my experience as both an athlete and a coach.

This is not a deep dive into hormone science.

Instead, this is a conversation about:

• Sleep changes
• Weight fluctuations
• Mood shifts (and yes…rage 😅)
• Random joint aches
• Focus + memory issues
• Nausea, dizziness, and fatigue
• And the mental side of feeling like you can’t “control” outcomes the way you used to

We talk about what happens when:

• Effort doesn’t guarantee results
• The same training produces different outcomes
• You can’t win by simply pushing harder
• Your old training templates stop working

And most importantly: how to adapt.

I share what I’m personally changing in my own training right now:

• Prioritizing sleep above everything
• Condensing strength work for better return on investment
• Adjusting fueling quantity (especially post-200 miler life)
• Using mobility work to understand what my body can and can’t currently tolerate
• Letting go of the need to control everything

If you’re in this phase or even wondering if you might be, I hope this episode helps normalize what can feel isolating and frustrating.

In this episode, I’m sharing a recent conversation with one of my 1:1 clients who’s training for 100 miles.

She listed everything she’s juggling — work, family, aging parents, social media, world events, health concerns — and then said:

“I just don’t know how I’m going to do it.”

And that’s the point.

Sometimes it’s not your fitness.
It’s not your plan.
It’s not your long run.

It’s the mental load.

When everything feels urgent and important, your attention gets split.
And when your attention is split, your training starts to feel heavier than it should.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why you don’t need to know “how” yet
• The hidden cost of constant input
• Comparison (Strava, early morning posts, influencer culture)
• The discipline of opting out
• How to “build your bubble” and protect your focus

Your attention is finite.
If you don’t choose what gets access to it, something else will.

This year, I’m taking a few things off the table when it comes to my running.

First: I’m done calling runs “bad.”
Hard? Sure. Uncomfortable? Absolutely.
But “bad” doesn’t actually tell us anything useful—and it usually creates more noise than clarity.

Second: I’m not overreacting to one data point.
One tough run. One off week. One moment of doubt.
None of those define your training—or your potential.

In this episode, I talk about why these two decisions matter, how they’ve changed the way I approach training, and why perspective—not perfection—is what actually carries you through long seasons and long races.

If you’ve ever questioned your fitness because of one run… this one’s for you.

In this episode I'm chatting with my friend and licensed psychologist, Dr. Alison Roy.  She's been a guest on the show before, way back in 2023 - episode 171.  This time around, I wanted to explore the topic of trauma and why she thinks there are so many people in the sport of ultras that have experienced trauma. During this episode we also touch on being an adaptive athlete & some real-time skills that you can use out there on the trails if you're looking to improve your mental resilience.

You guys know that one of my main missions is to get more women into the sport of ultras, so when my friend Meredith reached out to me and said: "What do you think about THIS?"  I said: "I think you should come on the podcast to talk about it!"   And here we are!  Meredith is the Medical Director for The Huron 100 in Michigan and they're offering scholarships for the race - specifically for women!

In this episode I'm chatting with my friend and fellow ultra runner, Caryn Lamphier.  If you remember back in my Moab 240 recap episode, I mention running with a group of people on day / night one...Caryn is one of those people.  I wanted to get her perspective on how the race went after we parted ways...here's what she had to say!

Every once in a while, I get a message from someone who’s just discovered the podcast and tells me they’re starting from episode one.

And every time…I cringe a little.

Not because I’m embarrassed (okay, maybe a little).
But because that version of me isn’t who I am anymore.

In this episode, I talk about why that cringe actually matters—and why it’s a good thing.

If you’re not uncomfortable with your past work, past decisions, or past version of yourself…there’s a good chance you haven’t grown very much. And staying the same might feel safe, but it’s not how progress happens.

This episode is a bit of a rant (in a loving way).
About growth.
About change.
About letting yourself evolve without apologizing for who you used to be.

If you’ve ever looked back at old training logs, old goals, old beliefs, or old versions of yourself and thought, “Yikes…”—this one’s for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why cringing at your past self is actually a sign of growth
• What it means when you outgrow old ideas, strategies, or identities
• Why staying the same is far more dangerous than changing
• How this applies to training, coaching, and life in general
• And why I’m okay not being the same coach—or person—I was years ago

You don’t need to erase your past to grow past it.
And you don’t need to stay loyal to a version of yourself that no longer fits.

Growth is cringe.
And that’s how you know it’s working.

We love to talk about grit in ultrarunning. Toughness. Digging deep. Pushing through.  But in most cases…you don’t DNF because you’re not tough enough.

You DNF because of  small decisions made when fatigue, stress, and emotion start running the show.

In this episode, I’m pulling lessons from the book Where You’ll Find Me by Ty Gagne — a powerful exploration of risk, decision-making, and how experience can sometimes work against us in high-stakes environments.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why experience doesn’t cancel risk — and how it can quietly increase it
• How ultra races fall apart through decision stacking, not one big mistake
• Why rigid plans fail when conditions change — and what flexible athletes do instead
• The hardest calls in an ultra: when to slow down, pivot, or walk away
• How fatigue narrows judgment — and how to train decision-making, not just fitness

Enjoy!

In this episode, I’m talking about the part of training that no spreadsheet can prepare you for — the blank space between the lines of your plan where uncertainty, second guessing, and mental load tend to creep in.

We’ll dig into:

• why having a solid training plan is only the starting point
• what actually causes runners to keep searching for a “better” plan
• why effort alone doesn’t resolve the discomfort that shows up in longer-distance training
• and how the human interacting with the plan matters more than the plan itself

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing everything right but still weren’t sure how to coach yourself through the gray areas, this episode will help you see why, without pretending there’s a one-size-fits-all fix.

Because ultra running isn’t just about execution.
It’s about learning how to think, decide, and adapt when things don’t go exactly as planned.

🎧 Listen in — and if this conversation hits close to home, you’ll understand exactly why the She Runs Ultras membership exists.

Procrastination isn’t a motivation problem.  It’s a timing problem.

In this episode, I’m breaking down a simple rule that helps you stop overthinking, stop negotiating with yourself, and start actually doing the things you say you want to do—whether that’s drinking more water, getting more steps, starting strength work, or training for an ultra.

We’ll talk about:

• Why we get stuck between thinking and doing
• How to close the gap before overthinking takes over
• Why starting small is the secret to follow-through
• How repetition builds confidence (and momentum)
• Why accountability matters more than willpower

If you tend to put things off until they feel heavy - or abandon them altogether - this episode will help you build the skill of following through.

Think the thought.
Do the thing.

I watched a guy at my gym casually drink raw egg whites straight from the carton.  No shame. No hesitation. Zero concern for what anyone else thought.

Was it gross? Yes.
Was it also kind of impressive? Also yes.

And weirdly enough… it’s the perfect metaphor for ultra training.

In this episode, we’re talking about why the “weird” things you do in training often make complete sense for your goals—even if they look ridiculous to everyone else. Because ultra training isn’t about looking normal. It’s about doing what actually works.

We’ll dig into:

• Why caring what other people think about your training is holding you back
• The difference between smart weird and random internet nonsense
• How to break big, scary ultra goals into simple, doable steps
• What actually matters when you’re training for your first (or farthest) ultra
• Why confidence comes from sticking to your plan—not copying someone else’s

If you’ve ever worried about looking silly, overthought whether you’re “doing it right,” or felt tempted to chase flashy training trends… this episode is for you.

So yeah.
Drink the egg whites.
Metaphorically.

In this episode, I answer a great question from listener (and She Runs Ultras member) Kierstin:

How do you train mental toughness and resiliency when the moments you need it don’t show up until 12+ hours into a race?  And how do you practice that in everyday life without recreating 20 hours of race fatigue?

Here’s the truth: you’re practicing mental toughness 24/7, whether you realize it or not.  It doesn’t start with huge, heroic efforts. It starts with the small, uncomfortable, inconvenient stuff you’d rather avoid.

Inside the episode, we cover:

• Why mental toughness is built the same way strength training is — light weight first, then load.
• How “small annoyances” are actually prime training reps for mental resilience.
• Why skipping straight to the big challenges leaves you vulnerable to the small ones that derail races.
• Real examples of micro-challenges you can start using today:
  stretching after a run, running the hill you hate, waking up early, joining the back of the pack, choosing the rocky trail, etc.
• How to make a simple “uncomfortable list” and use it as a training progression from small → big.
• The real battle: the mental chatter that shows up before you even start the task.
• Why your self-talk before, during, and after these moments matters just as much as the action itself.
• A reminder that on race day, curveballs will happen — and these daily reps are what prepare you to meet them instead of fold.

I also talk about Episode 90 — Believe Hard, and why believing in your future self (yes, even irrationally at times) is a huge part of developing resilience.

If you want mental toughness to show up for you on race day, now is the time to start practicing — with the small stuff first.

Enjoy this episode — and start training your mind just as intentionally as your miles.
