181. Multiple stress fractures to podium finish at UTA100k with Juliette Soule

Juliette Soule is a Sydney based trail runner, born in Christchurch NZ.

Juliette has surged onto the scene debuting her first 100k during COVID times and most recently placing 2nd at Ultra Trail Kosciuszko 100km in November 2024. But her journey to the podium was anything but smooth.

Over the span of 1.5 years, Juliette faced three major bone stress injuries while pushing her ultra-training just that bit too much. Her comeback is a story of both grit and learning. As well as a mindset shift that has forced her to transform her love for running from an obsessive pursuit to a more balanced and sustainable passion. This is something Juliette admits she is still working on achieving.

In this episode, Juliette reflects on the training errors that led to her injuries and shares the hard truths of taking time off and rebuilding. She gives us an exclusive look into her Kosci training strategy, which included running just three days a week, and how she’s working to prevent future injuries. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, Juliette’s insights on training smarter and redefining success are invaluable.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Juliette on the show—her story is equal parts inspiring and thought provoking.
