Training for your first ultra? Don’t get stuck stressing over the perfect race, perfect training plan, or perfect gear. In this episode, I break down three things that aren’t worth overthinking and what to do instead.  

1. Picking the Perfect Race  
The perfect race doesn’t exist. Instead, choose one that:  
✅ Excites you  
✅ Fits your budget & schedule  
✅ Works for your location  

2. Finding the Perfect Training Plan  
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan—life happens, and you’ll need to adapt. Instead of chasing perfection:  
✅ Start with what has worked for you in past training  
✅ Track your progress (TrainingPeaks, notebook, spreadsheet)  
✅ Focus on **consistency** and **adjusting as needed**  

3. Buying Expensive Gear Right Away  
You don’t need to break the bank! Start with what you have and add essentials as you go:  
👟 New shoes (when needed)  
🎒 Hydration pack  
🧥 Weather-appropriate layers  
⌚️ Watch with extra features (only if necessary)  

🔥 30-Day Shakedown Challenge is going strong with 50+ participants!  
🚪 She Runs Ultras Membership reopens in May with big updates!
