Everyday Ultra

Ahhh the taper: one of the most questioned and untrusted aspects of training. I get it; you’re training way less in a taper. So, it would make sense to worry about if you’re doing it “right” to not risk losing all that hard built fitness you’ve earned.

Here’s the thing: when you do the taper right, you give yourself a better chance of increasing performance on race day, with doing less work, and without the losing the fitness. Sounds too good to be true, but hey, it is!

The key though is that you do the taper CORRECTLY. And in this episode, we break down everything you need backed by the studies to best structure your taper.

We cover how long your taper should be, how to not lose fitness in a taper, and how to maximize your taper so that you get the best recovery on race day.

Thank you so much for listening to the episode!

Let’s face it: if you’re running an ultra, you will hit low points and get uncomfortable. Resistance will arise physically, mentally, and emotionally, all inevitably in the thick of your next ultramarathon. 

So, your ability to push through discomfort and challenges during the midst of an ultramarathon will be a key factor to whether you hit your ultra goals, finish the race, and keep moving forward.

And after interviewing hundreds of the best ultrarunners, along with taking away key moments from my ulrarunning career, I’ve found some of the most effective tools to help you push through the moments of discomfort and challenges in the middle of a race, so you can hit your biggest goals.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to know when to keep pushing and when to stop in the moments of pain, how you can take control of your mind to push through any discomfort, and how to change your relationship with pain so it can be your ally.

Huge thank you for listening to the show!

To put my training for the Cocodona 250 miler to the test, I ran 100 miles in three days on the Cocodona course as a part of a self-designed training camp. Why? To see my strengths and weaknesses with my current training and to gain confidence for race day!

Training camps are an excellent way to assess your readiness for your next ultra. And in this episode, I show you how I designed this camp so you can design your own.

I also share my biggest takeaways and lessons from the camp, crazy stories from the camp itself, and training principles that helped me have a very successful training camp (without feeling any soreness or over fatigue after the huge weekend!).

Thank you so much for listening to the podcast!

When it comes to someone who is the embodiment of Everyday Ultra, Justin Grunewald fits the title. Not only is he one of the best athletes in the sport, but he also works a demanding job, is the father of young children, and helps to raise money for rare cancer treatment.

And most recently, he not only came in second place at the Tarawera 100K, but he also did it coming off of not drinking alcohol for the whole month of January. And his experience was nothing but beneficial.

In this episode, Justin shares all about his Tarawera race, his key ingredients for success, and how ditching alcohol for the month of January affected his race performance. We also chat about mindset strategies, nutrition strategies, and Justin’s belief in running for a bigger cause.

Huge thank you to Justin for coming on the show!

Even if you follow the best training plan for your next ultra, our minds can work against us to fall short of our running goal.

But there is a way to take control of your mind so that it works FOR you as opposed to AGAINST you. And all it takes is one mindset shift to completely put that into practice.

And when you develop this mindset shift, it will allow you to achieve any ultrarunning goal you set yourself towards. And yes, it sounds like it’s clickbait, but I credit this mindset shift to a majority of the progress I’ve made in my ultrarunning career.

And this episode will share with you that exact mindset shift and action items on how to implement it in your daily lifestyle.

So whatever big goal you have as an ultrarunner, this will be the episode that will show you how to do it!

In this, we cover why our brains tend to limit us, what the most powerful belief to have as an ultrarunner is, how to destroy negative thinking, and how you can make a plan to achieve any goal you set your mind to as an ultrarunner.

Huge thank you for listening to the show!

When we feel safe on the runs, we can fully enjoy it. And when you take the right precautions to feel safer, it can give you much more peace of mind when you’re out there, while also giving you the best chance to protect yourself in case something extreme happens.

Given the recent horrific news lately on runners losing their lives, I felt it was important to record this topic on running safety to help provide resources and tips to stay safe on the trails (shoutout to Joshua for also recommending the topic).

In this episode, we cover safety precautions you can take on both the roads and trails while running to help give yourself the best chance of reducing harm.

We cover safety precautions from violence from others, weather safety tips, precautious measures to take in case of injury, how to handle inclement weather, and gear to use to help increase safety on the runs.

Thank you for listening to this very important episode of the podcast.
