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?

2026/05/15

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

Ep. 326 - The Hoodie I Didn't Earn...Or Did I?

She Runs Ultras ·

2026/05/08

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 ofHow setbacks...

Ep. 325 - Sleep Deprivation Training: Is That Really...

She Runs Ultras ·

2026/05/01

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, men...

Ep. 324 - How Would You Train Without The Internet?

She Runs Ultras ·

2026/04/24

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 s...

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, 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!!! 🔥 APPLY FOR MY GROUP COACHING PROGRAM ⭐️ GET THE FREE ULT...

2026/03/27

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 themselve...

Ep. 319 - 7 Unconventional Steps To Successful Ultra...

She Runs Ultras ·

2026/03/20

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...

Ep. 318 - The Fastest Way To Sabotage Your Training

2026/03/13

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 g...

2026/03/06

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 permissio...

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 changesWeight fluctuationsMood shifts (and yes…rage 😅)Random joint achesFocus + memory issuesNausea, dizziness, and fatigueAnd the mental side of feeling like you can’t “control” outcomes the way you used toWe

2026/02/20

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 ...

She Runs Ultras ·

2026/02/13

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 a...

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...

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...

Ep 309 - Decisions That Make Or Break An Ultra

She Runs Ultras ·

2026/01/09

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 tal...

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 pointwhat actually causes runners to keep searching for a “better” planwhy effort alone doesn’t resolve the discomfort that shows up in longer-distance trainingand how the human interacting with the plan matters ...
