    Ep. 308 - The Stuff No Training Plan Teaches You

    05/1/2026 | 20 mins.

    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 more than the plan itselfIf 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.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM

    Ep. 306 - Drink the Egg Whites (Metaphorically): Why Weird Training Works for Ultrarunners

    26/12/2025 | 12 mins.

    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 backThe difference between smart weird and random internet nonsenseHow to break big, scary ultra goals into simple, doable stepsWhat actually matters when you’re training for your first (or farthest) ultraWhy confidence comes from sticking to your plan—not copying someone else’sIf 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.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM

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.
