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...

Ep. 304 - 💥 You're Invited To Our 2026 Shenanigans
Dec 15, 2025We’re doing something really fun next year and you’re invited!
In this episode, I’m spilling the details on the two destination races the She Runs Ultras crew will be tackling together in 2026: the Hypnosis Night Runs in Arizona 🌵 and The Mamba in Tennessee 🐍.
These races are all about adventure, community, and options — whether you’re going short, long, or somewhere in between. You’ll get to train alongside an amazing group of women, build your confidence (yes, even at night!), and cross that finish line knowing you had support ev...
Duration: 00:09:18Ep. 303 - The Simple Way To Sharpen Your Mental Toughness
Dec 12, 2025In this episode, I answer a great question from listener (and She Runs Ultras member) Kierstin:
How do you train mental toughness and resiliency when the moments you need it don’t show up until 12+ hours into a race? And how do you practice that in everyday life without recreating 20 hours of race fatigue?
Here’s the truth: you’re practicing mental toughness 24/7, whether you realize it or not. It doesn’t start with huge, heroic efforts. It starts with the small, uncomfortable, inconvenient stuff you’d rath...

Dec 05, 2025If you’ve ever tried using RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and thought:
“Am I doing this right?”
“Why does this feel harder today than last week?”
“Is this even working?”
…this episode is for you!
Today we’re breaking down effort-based training — what it is, why it matters, and how it can totally change the way you approach running, especially if you're a woman in your 40s (and beyond) who wants to run longer, stronger, and yes… get faster on the trails.

Ep. 301 - Sometimes Less Is More & Here's How To Figure It Out
Nov 28, 2025If you’re in your off-season and thinking about what 2026’s training is going to look like…this episode is for you.
I’m walking you through a concept I use with all my athletes this time of year: Minimum Effective Dose. AKA: What’s the smallest amount of training you can do and still get the result you want? (Not just any result — the desired result.)
In this episode we cover:
Why doing more isn’t always better (especially for runners 40+).What makes recovery, tissue tolerance, and injury risk diff... Duration: 00:20:49Ep. 300 - Top 10 Reasons Women 40+ Are Secretly Built for Endurance

We’re talking about the real strengths women develop through decades of life experience — the grit, the patience, the emotional resilience, the ability to problem-solve in chaos, and the deep understanding of their own bodies. These aren’t just nice-to-have traits… they’re the exact skills that ultrarunning demands.

Ep. 297 - Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid To Lose Some Fitness (And How To Recover After Racing)
Oct 31, 2025As we wrap up another big year of racing, a lot of runners are asking the same question:

Ep. 291 - DNF Drama - My Battle with Bloodroot 50K Results
Sep 19, 2025What happens when you finish a 50K…but the official results say otherwise?
That’s exactly what happened to me back in May when I ran the Bloodroot 50K. I crossed the finish line. I’ve got the pictures & the Garmin data to prove it. But a couple weeks later, a former client emailed me to say: “Not sure if you know this, but UltrasignUp has you listed as a DNF.”
Cue five months of back-and-forth with Spartan (the race organizer), unanswered emails, dead ends, and more marketing emails in my inbox than I can count.

Aug 22, 2025Be honest, have you ever gone down the rabbit hole 🕳️ searching for the perfect checklist that will tell you you’re officially ready to run your first ultra?
Yeah, me too.
I used to think there had to be some step-by-step guide out there that would prove I’d trained enough, learned enough, and was ready to show up at the start line. Spoiler: that magical checklist doesn’t exist.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
✨ Why generic checklists will always fall short
✨ How chasing them only fuels self-doubt and second-guessing

In this episode, I’m telling the wild (and slightly ridiculous) story of how a peaceful 10-mile road run turned into a full-tilt downhill sprint—with a woodchuck in hot pursuit.

Whether it's a bad run, a missed session, or some mid-race drama, it's so easy to spin out and convince yourself that your entire race is doomed. (Spoiler alert: it’s not.)

We’re talking self-imposed limits, fear of failure, DNFs, and why most runners never even get close to discovering what they’re truly capable of.

That sparked a convo about something I always teach runners—whether you’re training for your first 5K or your first 100-miler:
👉 Start with walking.
👉 Build from there.
👉 Use the Walk/Run Gradient.

From overflowing rivers and knee-deep mud to surprise cutoffs and surprise aid station visits from my husband, this one had everything. I talk gear (spoiler: I was overpacked), mindset, and the moment at mile 20 where I had to make a tough decision: quit or keep pushing.

The perfect race doesn’t exist. Instead, choose one that:

There’s no one-size-fits-all plan—life happens, and you’ll need to adapt. Instead of chasing perfection:
