In this episode, I’m taking you inside my first 50K of 2025 — the wild, wet, and wicked Bloodroot Ultra in Pittsfield, Vermont. Spoiler alert: it rained for 10+ days before race weekend, so the course was less "trail" and more "swampy obstacle course."

From overflowing rivers and knee-deep mud to surprise cutoffs and surprise aid station visits from my husband, this one had everything. I talk gear (spoiler: I was overpacked), mindset, and the moment at mile 20 where I had to make a tough decision: quit or keep pushing.

You'll hear about:

• The Spartan-inspired terrain (minus the man-made obstacles)
• Slippery bridges, sketchy climbs, and how *not* to preserve dry feet
• A race that almost got the better of me — and why I kept going anyway

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to keep moving when the fun is gone and the mud won’t quit, this one’s for you.

In this episode of She Runs Ultras, I sit down with professional age group triathlete Colin Cook — a multi-time Ironman World Championship competitor and the founder of Peak Recovery in Manchester, NH. We talk about what it takes to perform at a high level in endurance sports, the critical role recovery plays in long-term success, and how everyday athletes can use simple tools to stay strong and injury-free.

Colin also shares his personal journey in triathlon, what led him to open Peak Recovery, and his top advice for athletes training for big goals — like running your first 50k!

Got a race coming up? In this episode, I’m sharing the *three key things* I’m doing this week to make sure I feel strong, confident, and ready when I toe the line for my upcoming 50K.

Here’s what I cover:

💧 Staying on top of hydration — why waiting until the day before the race is a huge mistake

😴 Prioritizing sleep — especially the *two nights before*, and how to create more rest overall

🧘‍♀️ Doubling down on mobility — because those last-minute mystery aches are *always* a thing

Plus, a bonus tip about… toenails (yes, really!) and why trimming them *at the right time* matters more than you think.

And if you're running your first 50K this summer or fall and you're feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or just need support—don’t miss the details about the **She Runs Ultras Membership**. Doors open **Monday, May 12** and there are just 8 spots available!

🎧 Tune in now and set yourself up for your strongest race yet.

Today's episode is the long awaited recap of the Southern States 200 race back in March.  I traveled to this race to crew and pace for 2 of my athletes, Sarah and Frank (plus my *bonus* athlete, Nicolle) as they made their way from Georgia into Alabama.  In this episode you'll hear my conversation with Sarah as we rehash everything from start to finish (literally!)  I even convinced them to do some *voice memos* to help document the process.  And, if you'd like the full experience, head over to my profile page on Instagram (@sherunsultras) and click the very first story highlight (titled: SS200) and you can watch the race from my perspective (in real time).  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do!

Listener Questions Answered: Calories, Tailwind, Sick Days, Blisters & Drop Bags

In this week’s Q&A-style episode, I'm tackling some of your most pressing ultra running questions—from fueling on the run to navigating training setbacks, and everything in between. Whether you’re dialing in your nutrition or deep in the throes of peak training, this episode is packed with real talk, practical advice, and encouragement for every step of your ultra journey.

🔥 In this episode, we cover:

Calories on the Run: Should you log the fuel you eat during your runs? 

Fueling with Only Tailwind for a 50K:  Could you go the distance on liquids alone? Let’s crunch some numbers and talk through the pros, cons, and why practicing your fueling plan is non-negotiable.

Missing a Week of Training Due to Illness:  One week down doesn’t mean your race is doomed. How to ease back in safely, what to watch for, and when you may need to adjust your training block.

Dealing with a Big Blister During Peak Week:  Ouch. You’re not alone. Top tips for managing, taping, and treating blisters—plus a book recommendation that every trail runner should have in their library.

Drop Bags You Can’t Get Back?! When race rules limit your gear options, what really needs to go in those non-returnable drop bags? We talk priorities, backup plans, and how to adapt without a crew.

💬 Got a question you want me to answer on a future episode? Reach out anytime!

In today’s quick-hit episode, we’re talking about what it really means to be in the driver’s seat on your journey to your first 50K finish.

No one is going to hand you a 50K finish line—you have to go out and make it happen.

If you're serious about this goal, it’s time to shift from being passive to proactive. That means looking for opportunities to train, learn, connect with others, and build momentum. Whether it’s joining a run group, hiring a coach, or simply showing up and doing the work—you need to be the one behind the wheel.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why waiting for the “right time” doesn’t work
• The mindset shift that makes all the difference
• How to stay motivated when the finish line feels far away
• What to do when fear and self-doubt creep in

Remember: you don’t have to know everything or do this alone. But you do have to take the first step.

🎉 FREE WORKSHOP ALERT!
