Ep. 260 - Don't Think You Can Run 200 Miles? Jess Greene Says "Yes You Can!!!"
Send us a textWhat does it take to not just finish a grueling 240-mile race, but to go back six times? In this episode, I sit down with ultra-runner Jess Greene, a total badass who has finished the Moab 240 *five* times and is gearing up for her sixth loop in 2025. But her story isn’t just about big miles—it’s about transformation. Jess went from being 100 pounds overweight to running one of the toughest ultra races on the planet. We talk about what sparked her journey, how she tackled the mental and physical barriers along the way, and why she keeps going back to Moab year after year.

Ep. 259 - Trust the Process—Even When It Sucks 😝
Send us a textI got 'ma’amed' at the gym by two high school boys. Oof. I know it’s respectful, but when you still feel 26, it stings. But hey, aging has perks—like knowing "you can’t rush a good thing." Yet, I keep hearing:How long before I see results? Am I doing it wrong? Sound familiar? Whether it’s body recomposition or ultra training, we all want fast results. But rushing leads to setbacks. Key takeaways:- Be present in your training. - Track your progress. - Stop looking for quick fixes. Hope this helps you slow down and trust the process. And may you *not* get ma’am-ed today 😁⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS COACHING MEMBERSHIP📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP

Ep. 258 - The Brutal Truth About Why You're Not Hitting Your Goals (and what to do about it!)
Send us a textWe’ve all been there — staring at our training plan, waiting for some magical surge of motivation to make it feel easier. But here’s the cold, hard truth: motivation isn’t coming. And if you’re relying on it to get you through your training, you’re setting yourself up for failure. In this episode, I go on a bit of a rant (but a necessary one!) about the mindset that holds so many runners back. I’ve been guilty of it, you’ve been guilty of it, and the sooner we recognize it, the sooner we can fix it. Ultra training is a long game, and if you’re constantly looking for bursts of excitement to carry you through, you’re in trouble. The athletes who succeed aren’t the ones who feel inspired every day—they’re the ones who put in the work, no matter what. So let’s strip it all down. Why do you think you need motivation? What’s the real thought behind your resistance to training? Because if you can identify it, you can change it. And that, my friend, is how you create momentum that actually lasts. Let’s go.!⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS COACHING MEMBERSHIP📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP
