She Runs Ultras

Ep. 287 - How To Know If You're Actually Ready To Race


Listen Later

Be honest, have you ever gone down the rabbit hole šŸ•³ļø searching for the perfect checklist that will tell you you’re officially ready to run your first ultra?

Yeah, me too.

I used to think there had to be some step-by-step guide out there that would prove I’d trained enough, learned enough, and was ready to show up at the start line. Spoiler: that magical checklist doesn’t exist.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
✨ Why generic checklists will always fall short
✨ How chasing them only fuels self-doubt and second-guessing
✨ What you need to focus on instead so you can create your own ā€œrace-readyā€ checklist that actually works for yourrace, your body, and your life

And if you’re tired of spinning in circles and want to feel confident that you’re preparing the right way, that’s exactly what I help you do inside my group coaching membership, She Runs Ultras FOUNDATIONS.
