- How to Build Confidence Through Hard Things, Stop Comparing Yourself, and Run for the Love of It with Natalya Platonova
Natalia's journey into ultrarunning is anything but ordinary. After winning The Circle and serving in the British Army, she found herself taking on some of the world’s toughest stage races—including Marathon des Sables as her first ultra.
Today you'll learn how ultrarunning can teach us about resilience, self-trust, preparation, and learning to be comfortable with the unknown. From approaching a brutal race with limited running experience to stepping away from the pressure of social media and performance, Natalia offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to become a stronger ultra runner without losing the joy that brought you to the sport in the first place.
You’ll learn:
• How to prepare when you don't feel physically ready
• The race-planning details ultra runners shouldn't overlook
• How to build confidence through difficult experiences
• Why comparison can quietly change your relationship with running
• How to handle uncertainty when an ultra doesn't go to plan
• Why keeping running fun can make you a better athleteSHOW LINKS

1 hr 3 min - How to Not Let Problems Derail Your Training and Racing
When life throws a wrench into your training, your race, or your plans, it’s easy to let one inconvenience spiral into “my whole race is ruined.” In ultrarunning, things will go wrong. The real skill is learning how to respond when they do.
In this episode, we’re diving into the mindset and practical tools that can help you stay level-headed, solve problems, and keep moving forward when things don’t go according to plan. Every training struggle, unexpected obstacle, or race-day curveball is a chance to build the resilience you’ll need when things get tough.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-Why expecting things to go wrong can actually make you more prepared
-How to shift from panic mode into problem-solving mode
-Why the language you use can change how you respond
-How to stay productive when your first solution doesn’t work
-Why saying your positive self-talk out loud can make a difference
-When to accept what you can’t control—and where your power still lies
-Why “something is better than nothing” matters in training and racing
-How taking accountability can make you a more resilient athlete

1 hr 7 min - How to Avoid And Solve Nutrition and Stomach Issues in Ultramarathons
Nutrition can make or break an ultramarathon. In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most frustrating parts of ultra running: what happens when your fueling strategy stops working. From nausea and stomach issues to palate fatigue, hydration mistakes, and struggling to stay consistent.
You’ll learn how to troubleshoot problems instead of guessing, practice fueling in training, and build the flexibility and discipline needed to keep yourself moving forward.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-How to tell the difference between true nausea and simply being tired of your fuel
-Why hydration may be playing a bigger role in your GI issues than you realize
-How to build more variety into your race-day nutrition
-Why experimenting with one variable at a time matters
-What your fueling timing can do for your stomach
-How to troubleshoot carbs, sodium, magnesium, caffeine, and ingredient sensitivities
-Why your nutrition strategy needs to evolve with distance, intensity, heat, and race conditions
-How to develop the discipline to keep fueling when food is the last thing you want

3 hr 36 min - Badwater 135 Recap: How to Overcome Mental Darkness in Any Race
I ran the Badwater 135 this past week, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done.
The mental battles I faced out there were unlike any other; combine that with fatigue coming off racing Western States 100 one month prior, 120+ degree temps, and tons of climbing, this was a battle.
In this episode, we go through the play-by-play of the whole race, along with tips, strategies, and lessons to help you overcome any challenge you face in an ultramarathon.
Q&A portion will be released tomorrow in a separate episode!
