Description

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. So whether you’re already a member of the ultra community or if you’re just ultra curious...Hit subscribe and let’s do this!

I think that we can all agree that the fear we experience at the beginning (or during the early stages of training) is REAL!  After the initial high & excitement of signing up, most runners have some fear about how the hell they're going to accomplish their goal.  In this episode I'm going to share how I deal with the fear.  ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP⭐️ GET THE MOBILITY FOR BEGINNERS PROGRAM🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM ⚡️ CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MY FREE DAILY SHAKEDOWN 🏃🏻‍♀️ CLICK HERE TO GET MY FREE 10 WEEK ULTRA TRAINING PLAN

It would be this: DON'T QUIT.  Quitting will slow you down.  It'll chip away at your confidence and it will have you caught in a never ending cycle.  There's going to be lots of ups and downs on the path towards crossing the finish line of your race.  Some days you'll feel like you're on top of the world, you're firing on all cylinders, and like you're completely untouchable.   And then there will be days where quitting feels like the best & most humane option to put you out of your misery.  In this episode I make the argument for why you should avoid quitting at all costs!  ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP⭐️ GET THE MOBILITY FOR BEGINNERS PROGRAM🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM ⚡️ CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MY FREE DAILY SHAKEDOWN 🏃🏻‍♀️ CLICK HERE TO GET MY FREE 10 WEEK ULTRA TRAINING PLAN

I'm 90 days out from my first race and on Monday, I came down with the flu.  0/10. Definitely don't recommend it.  But it did give me some time to reflect on best practices when it comes to getting sick, recovering, and getting back to training.  ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP⭐️ GET THE MOBILITY FOR BEGINNERS PROGRAM🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM ⚡️ CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MY FREE DAILY SHAKEDOWN 🏃🏻‍♀️ CLICK HERE TO GET MY FREE 10 WEEK ULTRA TRAINING PLAN
I'm betting you've said this to yourself at least once or twice.  We all have a preconceived notion of what it means to be a "real" runner (or ultra runner). For some of us it's based on how fast we run, or the number of times we run a week, or how far we run....and the list goes on.  We build these concepts up in our head based on our experiences, things we've seen or read or heard, maybe because of what someone said to us. In today's episode I want to share a couple of stories that will help you understand that you're not alone and that YOU ARE a real ultra runner (even if your brain says otherwise!) 😎➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP⭐️ GET THE MOBILITY FOR BEGINNERS PROGRAM🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM ⚡️ CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MY FREE DAILY SHAKEDOWN 🏃🏻‍♀️ CLICK HERE TO GET MY FREE 10 WEEK ULTRA TRAINING PLAN
I can't remember where I heard or read this quote (or who to attribute it to) but I think it should be the battle cry for ultra runners in training everywhere!  "You can't be mediocre 364 days a year and expect to perform flawlessly on the big day." What do you think?  🤔➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP⭐️ GET THE MOBILITY FOR BEGINNERS PROGRAM🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM ⚡️ CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MY FREE DAILY SHAKEDOWN 🏃🏻‍♀️ CLICK HERE TO GET MY FREE 10 WEEK ULTRA TRAINING PLAN
