She Runs Ultras

Ep. 308 - The Stuff No Training Plan Teaches You


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking about the part of training that no spreadsheet can prepare you for — the blank space between the lines of your plan where uncertainty, second guessing, and mental load tend to creep in.

We’ll dig into:

  • why having a solid training plan is only the starting point
  • what actually causes runners to keep searching for a “better” plan
  • why effort alone doesn’t resolve the discomfort that shows up in longer-distance training
  • and how the human interacting with the plan matters more than the plan itself

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing everything right but still weren’t sure how to coach yourself through the gray areas, this episode will help you see why, without pretending there’s a one-size-fits-all fix.

Because ultra running isn’t just about execution.
It’s about learning how to think, decide, and adapt when things don’t go exactly as planned.

🎧 Listen in — and if this conversation hits close to home, you’ll understand exactly why the She Runs Ultras membership exists.
