In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between speed and effort—and why focusing on effort can be a game-changer for trail and ultra runners. If you’ve ever stressed about race cutoffs or felt stuck trying to ā€œget faster,ā€ this one’s for you. Ā 

We’ll talk about why traditional road running concepts like pace don’t translate well to trails and introduce the RPE scale (Rate of Perceived Exertion) as a smarter way to train. Learn how effort-based workouts can help you improve endurance, delay fatigue, and finish your races stronger—without constantly staring at your watch. Ā 

Whether you’re new to ultras or just looking for fresh training strategies, this episode will help you rethink your approach to speed and build confidence on the trails.Ā
