  • Summary

  • 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!

    Training for your first ultra? Don’t get stuck stressing over the perfect race, perfect training plan, or perfect gear. In this episode, I break down three things that aren’t worth overthinking and what to do instead.

    1. Picking the Perfect Race
    The perfect race doesn’t exist. Instead, choose one that:
    ✅ Excites you
    ✅ Fits your budget & schedule
    ✅ Works for your location

    2. Finding the Perfect Training Plan
    There’s no one-size-fits-all plan—life happens, and you’ll need to adapt. Instead of chasing perfection:
    ✅ Start with what has worked for you in past training
    ✅ Track your progress (TrainingPeaks, notebook, spreadsheet)
    ✅ Focus on **consistency** and **adjusting as needed**

    3. Buying Expensive Gear Right Away
    You don’t need to break the bank! Start with what you have and add essentials as you go:
    👟 New shoes (when needed)
    🎒 Hydration pack
    🧥 Weather-appropriate layers
    ⌚️ Watch with extra features (only if necessary)

    🔥 30-Day Shakedown Challenge is going strong with 50+ participants!
    🚪 She Runs Ultras Membership reopens in May with big updates!
    🛍️ She Runs Ultras Store is launching! Pre-orders for coffee mugs & t-shirts start next week—watch your inbox & social media!
