She Runs Ultras
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!

Ep. 329 - 5 Tips If You Think You Need to Run the Full Distance Before Race Day
•
Season 1

Episode 329
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
