What would your training look like if you didn’t have access to social media, Google, podcasts…or even this one?

In this episode, we explore what “old school” training might teach you about consistency, confidence, and actually making progress without all the noise. From learning to trust your body to stepping away from constant comparison, this is a conversation about simplifying your approach so you can focus on what really matters.

You’ll hear a real client story about what happened when she took a break from scrolling and why less input might be the key to better results.

If your training feels chaotic, overwhelming, or like you’re constantly second-guessing yourself…this one’s for you.

Bottom line:
More information isn’t always better. Sometimes the fastest way forward is to tune out the noise, trust the process, and just keep showing up.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Badwater 135 finisher, Peggy Ward.  Peggy has an impressive ultra resume including multiple 50 & 100 mile races where she has placed overall or in her age group.  One of the most exciting things about Peggy, at least in my opinion, is that she didn't start running ultras until she was 42 years old.  So for any of you that think you're "too old" to run an ultra, think again!!!

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m too slow… too old… not cut out for this…” — this episode is going to hit close to home. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and most toxic) patterns I see in runners: negative self-talk that sabotages your training before you ever get to race day.

After reading through recent coaching applications, so many women are holding themselves back not because of their training…but because of the story they’re telling themselves about their abilities. 

We’ll talk about:

• Why “talking shit to yourself” is more harmful than any missed workout
• How self-doubt shows up (and disguises itself) in your training
• The problem with fake hype, affirmations, and trying to “force confidence”
• How to shift your mindset in a way that actually feels believable
• Simple ways to reframe fear, failure, and lack of confidence into something useful

This episode is part mindset coaching, part reality check and it’s especially for anyone who feels like they’re doing the work physically…but getting in their own way mentally.

Because at the end of the day, you can’t expect to overcome a challenge if you’re the one creating it.

When you think about “successful” ultra training…your brain probably goes straight to outcomes.

Finishing. PRs. Going farther than you ever have before.

But here’s the problem…That’s not where success actually lives.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why successful ultra training is process-based not outcome-based and why focusing only on the end result is the fastest way to stall your progress.

We’ll talk about:

• Why outcomes (like finishing a race or hitting a time goal) are just moments in time—not the full picture
• The real, unsexy “wins” that actually drive progress (and why you’re probably overlooking them)
• How focusing only on mileage can back you into a corner
• What to do when you hit that inevitable “freak out” moment in training
• How to build a process that actually works for your life, schedule, and starting point
• Why consistency, awareness, and small daily actions matter more than any single workout

If you’ve been chasing a goal for a while and feel like you’re not getting anywhere…

This episode will help you zoom out, reset, and start looking at your training in a way that actually leads to progress.

Because at the end of the day:

Process over outcome. Every single time.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things…reading the articles, trying the plans, tweaking your training and yet somehow your progress feels stalled?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common ways runners unknowingly sabotage their training especially in the age of social media and endless online advice.

When you’re not sure what to do, it’s easy to start grabbing ideas from everywhere:
a training plan here, a workout there, a tip from someone in a Facebook group…

Before long you’re trying seven different approaches at once and wondering why nothing seems to be working.

In this episode, I’m sharing a message from a coaching client that perfectly illustrates this trap and why constantly changing plans, piling on more training, or chasing quick reassurance can actually derail your progress.

We’ll talk about:

• Why doing more training often makes things worse
• The hidden downside of following too many plans at once
• Why most runners abandon a strategy before it ever has time to work
• How reflection and patience are the real keys to long-term progress

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your training is a little chaotic lately… this episode will help you take a step back and get refocused.

Somewhere along the way, a lot of women start downplaying their running goals.

“It’s just a 50K.”
“I mean… there are people running way farther than me.”

In this episode, I’m stepping in as the 🧚 Permission Fairy 🧚 and officially giving you permission to want what you want when it comes to running your first or farthest ultra.

We’ll talk about why so many women hesitate to go after bigger running goals, the subtle ways we minimize our own ambitions, and why giving yourself permission is often the first step toward doing something you didn’t think was possible.

Permission granted!

In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what it feels like when your body stops responding the way it used to and how perimenopause has shifted my experience as both an athlete and a coach.

This is not a deep dive into hormone science.

Instead, this is a conversation about:

• Sleep changes
• Weight fluctuations
• Mood shifts (and yes…rage 😅)
• Random joint aches
• Focus + memory issues
• Nausea, dizziness, and fatigue
• And the mental side of feeling like you can’t “control” outcomes the way you used to

We talk about what happens when:

• Effort doesn’t guarantee results
• The same training produces different outcomes
• You can’t win by simply pushing harder
• Your old training templates stop working

And most importantly: how to adapt.

I share what I’m personally changing in my own training right now:

• Prioritizing sleep above everything
• Condensing strength work for better return on investment
• Adjusting fueling quantity (especially post-200 miler life)
• Using mobility work to understand what my body can and can’t currently tolerate
• Letting go of the need to control everything

If you’re in this phase or even wondering if you might be, I hope this episode helps normalize what can feel isolating and frustrating.

In this episode, I’m sharing a recent conversation with one of my 1:1 clients who’s training for 100 miles.

She listed everything she’s juggling — work, family, aging parents, social media, world events, health concerns — and then said:

“I just don’t know how I’m going to do it.”

And that’s the point.

Sometimes it’s not your fitness.
It’s not your plan.
It’s not your long run.

It’s the mental load.

When everything feels urgent and important, your attention gets split.
And when your attention is split, your training starts to feel heavier than it should.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why you don’t need to know “how” yet
• The hidden cost of constant input
• Comparison (Strava, early morning posts, influencer culture)
• The discipline of opting out
• How to “build your bubble” and protect your focus

Your attention is finite.
If you don’t choose what gets access to it, something else will.
