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

For the final episode in this series, I’m passing the mic(sort of) to several women inside the She Runs Ultras membership who have already made the jump to ultra running. They’re sharing what scared them before their first 50K, what they got wrong, what surprised them, and what they wish they had known when they started. We’re talking about belonging, walking, flexible race plans, unexpected problems, and discovering that your body may be capable of much more than you think. If you’re c...
In this episode, I’m walking you through the same coaching process I use inside the She Runs Ultras membership. We’ll define your destination, take an honest look at your starting point, identify the biggest constraint standing between you and your goal, and organize your priorities into what to focus on now, build next, address later, and ignore for the time being. This process will help you create the clarity, consistency, and confidence you need to keep moving toward your first 50K w...
Choosing your first 50K can feel like a catch-22: how do you choose a race that matches your abilities when you’ve never run that distance before? In this episode, I’m sharing two unconventional tips to help you choose a first 50K that gives you a fair opportunity to succeed. We’ll talk about why you shouldn’t stack too many “firsts” into one race and why your first 50K should give you enough room to make mistakes, adjust, and learn as you go. You don’t need to find the easiest race or ...
Are you ready to start training for a 50K or do you still feel like you need to become a stronger, faster, more experienced runner first? In this episode, I’m sharing nine signs that you may be ready to begin training for your first 50K. We’ll talk about the difference between being ready to train for the distance and being ready to run it today, why you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start, and which qualities matter more than speed or weekly mileage. You’ll learn how c...
If you’ve completed a 25K and you’re wondering whether you could ever run a 50K, this episode is for you! In the first episode of my new 25K to 50K series, we’re talking about why a 50K isn’t simply “twice as hard,” the skills you’ve already developed that will transfer to ultrarunning, and the new skills you’ll build during training. I’ll also explain the difference between being ready to run a 50K and being ready to begin training for one, why you don’t need to get faster at the 25K distanc...
📣 Big news: I’m hosting my very own ultra in October 2027! In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve decided so far, why I chose a timed race on a looped course, and how this format will help women make the leap into ultras without the pressure of traditional distances and cutoffs. I’ll also be documenting the entire process of creating this event and inviting you to help shape it along the way. If you’ve been waiting until you feel completely ready to do something big, this episode is your...
What if more than half of the accounts you're seeing online aren't even real? In this episode, I'm talking about a statistic that completely changed the way I think about social media and why every runner should think twice before accepting training advice, motivation, or inspiration from the internet at face value. I also share why I've intentionally chosen not to fill this podcast with sponsorships, affiliate deals, or ads, and why protecting the trust of this community will always matter m...
What if one of the biggest things holding you back as a runner isn't your fitness... ...it's your thinking? In this episode, I'm sharing a funny story from my small New Hampshire town that turned into a much bigger coaching lesson about tradition, assumptions, and why "we've always done it that way" might be one of the most limiting phrases in endurance sports. If you've ever found yourself wondering whether there's a better way to train, recover, or prepare for your races, this episode is fo...
