Ever gone out too fast and spent the rest of the race wondering what was I thinking ?  You’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the hardest - and most important - skills in ultrarunning: racing your own race.

We’ll dig into:
🏃‍♀️ How to tune out shiny PRs, social pressure, and other runners’ paces
⚡ Real strategies for pacing yourself in training and on race day
🧠 Mental tools for staying present and making smart decisions mid-run
🎯 Why individualized pacing and realistic race goals matter more than finish time fantasies

Plus, I’ll share a few hilarious (and humbling) stories from runners who learned these lessons the hard way—including one who tried to chase a woman in a dog costume. Spoiler: it didn’t end well. 😅

🎧 Tune in, take notes, and get ready to run your next race on your terms.
