Dead legs happen to every ultrarunner, but what you do when your body starts to fade can make all the difference. In ultrarunning, fatigue is inevitable. The challenge is learning how to manage it.

1 hr 10 min - Navigating Body Dysmorphia and Eating Disorders in Training
Content disclaimer: This episode discusses eating disorders, disordered eating, and body dysmorphia, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.
Body image and disordered eating affect more runners than we realize, yet they’re rarely discussed.
Everyday Ultra coach, therapist, and ultrarunner Jen Higgins joins us for an honest conversation about food, body image, and performance and why becoming a stronger ultrarunner starts with fueling your body and respecting its needs.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why the belief that “lighter is faster” can hold you back
- Signs your relationship with food or exercise may be becoming unhealthy
- How to navigate comparison and body image struggles
- Ways to build a healthier approach to fueling and recovery
- Why progress isn’t linear and how to move forward with self-compassion

1 hr 36 min - 5 Mental Tactics to Get Through ANYTHING in an Ultramarathon (And Life)
There comes a point in nearly every ultramarathon where your mind starts telling you to quit. Your legs are destroyed, you're exhausted, and the thought of how many miles you have left feels absolutely overwhelming.
But what if you could train your mind to push through those moments, no matter how difficult things get?
In this episode, I'm sharing five powerful mental strategies that have helped me overcome some of the lowest moments in my ultrarunning career, and that we've used to help athletes at Everyday Ultra build the resilience to push through their toughest challenges.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to mentally prepare for the hardest moments of an ultramarathon before they even happen
How to overcome negative thoughts when your mind is telling you to quit
How to build unshakable self-belief and confidence as an ultrarunner
A simple mental strategy that makes even the longest ultramarathons feel more manageable
Lessons from my darkest moments at Badwater 135, Tahoe 200, and Cocodona 250
Why your lowest point in a race doesn't have to determine how the rest of your race goes
