She Runs Ultras

Ep. 317 - 🧚 You Don’t Need Permission to Run an Ultra… But Here It Is Anyway!!

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 permission is often the first step toward doing something you didn’t think was possible.Permission granted!  🔥 JOIN THE MOBILITY INTENSIVE ⭐️ 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. 316 - When Your Body Stops Being Predictable

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 talk about what happens when:Effort doesn’t guarantee resultsThe same training produces different outcomesYou can’t win by simply pushing harderYour old training templates stop workingAnd most importantly: how to adapt.I share what I’m personally changing in my own training right now:Prioritizing sleep above everythingCondensing strength work for better return on investmentAdjusting fueling quantity (especially post-200 miler life)Using mobility work to understand what my body can and can’t currently tolerateLetting go of the need to control everythingIf you’re in this phase or even wondering if you might be, I hope this episode helps normalize what can feel isolating and frustrating.🔥 JOIN THE MOBILITY INTENSIVE ⭐️ 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. 315 - When Everything Competes for Your Attention...Your Training Pays the Price!

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 is split, your training starts to feel heavier than it should.In this episode, we talk about:Why you don’t need to know “how” yetThe hidden cost of constant inputComparison (Strava, early morning posts, influencer culture)The discipline of opting outHow to “build your bubble” and protect your focusYour attention is finite.If you don’t choose what gets access to it, something else will.🔥 JOIN THE MOBILITY INTENSIVE ⭐️ 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. 314 - Two Things I'm NOT DOING With My Running This Year

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 approach training, and why perspective—not perfection—is what actually carries you through long seasons and long races.If you’ve ever questioned your fitness because of one run… this one’s for you.🔥 JOIN THE MOBILITY INTENSIVE ⭐️ 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. 313 - The Undeniable Connection Between Trauma & Ultra Running with Dr. Alison Roy

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 resilience. Follow Dr. Alison Roy's professional account on Instagram hereFollow her personal account hereWork with Dr. Alison🔥 JOIN THE MOBILITY INTENSIVE ⭐️ 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
