One hard run and suddenly you’re “not cut out for ultras"??? What about all the runs you’ve completed, the progress you’ve made, and the things you’ve figured out along the way?

If you’re looking for reasons you can’t run an ultra, you’ll find them. In this episode, I’m calling bullshit on the one-sided case you might be building against yourself.

We’re going to talk about:

• How your doubts start feeling like facts.
• The progress you might be overlooking.
• A simple way to catch yourself talking yourself out of your goal.

You can’t think your way across a finish line. But you can give yourself a fair chance to get there by shifting the way that you look at things!

What does coaching inside the She Runs Ultras membership actually sound like?

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent Office Hours call. You’ll hear real members bring up the questions, decisions, and challenges they’re working through and how I help them figure out what makes sense for their training, goals, and real lives.

This conversation has been edited to protect everyone’s privacy, but the coaching itself is real.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’ll receive personalized help inside the membership or what it would feel like to be coached by me, this episode will give you a peek inside.

✏️ Applications for the She Runs Ultras membership are open through September 30th, 2026.  You can find the link below!

For the final episode in this series, I’m passing the mic(sort of) to several women inside the She Runs Ultras membership who have already made the jump to ultra  running.

They’re sharing what scared them before their first 50K, what they got wrong, what surprised them, and what they wish they had known when they started. We’re talking about belonging, walking, flexible race plans, unexpected problems, and discovering that your body may be capable of much more than you think.

If you’re considering your first 50K but still wondering whether you have what it takes, let these women remind you: you don’t need to become someone else before you begin.A

In this episode, I’m walking you through the same coaching process I use inside the She Runs Ultras membership. 

We’ll define your destination, take an honest look at your starting point, identify the biggest constraint standing between you and your goal, and organize your priorities into what to focus on now, build next, address later, and ignore for the time being.

This process will help you create the clarity, consistency, and confidence you need to keep moving toward your first 50K without getting overwhelmed by everything you think you “should” be doing.

Applications for the She Runs Ultras coaching membership are open through September 30, 2026. 

You’ll also find links to my free 8-Week Base Building Plan and Run Your First 50K Facebook group in the show notes.

Choosing your first 50K can feel like a catch-22: how do you choose a race that matches your abilities when you’ve never run that distance before?

In this episode, I’m sharing two unconventional tips to help you choose a first 50K that gives you a fair opportunity to succeed. 

We’ll talk about why you shouldn’t stack too many “firsts” into one race and why your first 50K should give you enough room to make mistakes, adjust, and learn as you go.

You don’t need to find the easiest race or guarantee your finish. You need to choose a challenge that allows you to be a successful beginner!

Are you ready to start training for a 50K or do you still feel like you need to become a stronger, faster, more experienced runner first?

In this episode, I’m sharing nine signs that you may be ready to begin training for your first 50K. We’ll talk about the difference between being ready to train for the distance and being ready to run it today, why you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start, and which qualities matter more than speed or weekly mileage.

You’ll learn how consistency, available training time, recovery, fueling, walking, and your willingness to learn all factor into your readiness. And if you discover you’re not quite ready yet, you’ll know exactly what to work on next!

You don’t need absolute confidence or proof that you can already cover the distance. 

You need an honest starting point, enough time to prepare, and a willingness to do the work.

If you’ve completed a 25K and you’re wondering whether you could ever run a 50K, this episode is for you!

In the first episode of my new 25K to 50K series, we’re talking about why a 50K isn’t simply “twice as hard,” the skills you’ve already developed that will transfer to ultrarunning, and the new skills you’ll build during training.

I’ll also explain the difference between being ready to run a 50K and being ready to begin training for one, why you don’t need to get faster at the 25K distance first, and why you shouldn’t wait until you feel completely confident to consider signing up.

Running your first 50K doesn’t require you to become an entirely different runner. It requires expansion—not reinvention.

📣 Big news: I’m hosting my very own ultra in October 2027!

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve decided so far, why I chose a timed race on a looped course, and how this format will help women make the leap into ultras without the pressure of traditional distances and cutoffs.

I’ll also be documenting the entire process of creating this event and inviting you to help shape it along the way.

If you’ve been waiting until you feel completely ready to do something big, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to know exactly how it will work before you begin.

What if more than half of the accounts you're seeing online aren't even real?

In this episode, I'm talking about a statistic that completely changed the way I think about social media and why every runner should think twice before accepting training advice, motivation, or inspiration from the internet at face value.

I also share why I've intentionally chosen not to fill this podcast with sponsorships, affiliate deals, or ads, and why protecting the trust of this community will always matter more to me than chasing another revenue stream.

If you've ever wondered who you should actually listen to when it comes to your training, this episode is for you.
