Running an ultra not only requires you to be physically fit; it also requires you to be mentally fit as well. And part of being mentally fit includes being fully confident in yourself and abilities to be able to get across that finish line.
We all struggle with that negative voice in our head that says “you can’t do this”, especially when we are at the halfway point of an ultramarathon. But if you have unshakable confidence that is deeply rooted inside you, you will be able to conquer that voice and any obstacle you face in a race and in your life.This episode will show you the no B.S. way to build unbreakable, sustainable, and real confidence (hint: it goes beyond just shouting answers in the mirror).
We cover how you can rewire your brain to be more confident in your races and training, how you can apply confidence boosting activities in your ultra training, and ways you can combat that negative voice in your head when things get tough.
Thank you so much for listening!

Ashley Paulson recently took on the Cocodona 250 miler as her first 200+ mile attempt. And out of the experience, she finished top 10 female, but also, she overcame so much adversity that made this race incredibly meaningful to her.


And with Ashley being an incredibly accomplished athlete, including winning Badwater twice, winning every 100 miler she's done, and nabbing top finishes at many ultras and triathlons, this 250 mile race was another incredible feat she accomplished.


On top of it all, she's a mother, wife, and devoted family member who also makes that her number one priority.


In this episode, Ashley shares stories and takeaways from her Cocodona experience, including how to stay strong and positive (even when everything is going wrong), how to learn from setbacks, and how to problem solve on the go, even when dealing with a problem you've never faced before.


Huge thank you to Ashley for coming on the show!
