Ultramarathon Training for Mountains from the Flatlands: Jennifer Taylor’s High Lonesome 100 Miler Success


Listen Later

In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, host Joe Corcione chats with his athlete Jennifer Taylor, who recently conquered her first 100-miler at the High Lonesome 100—one of the toughest ultras in the U.S.

Jennifer opens up about how she turned grief and trauma into fuel for her running journey, but just as importantly, she shares the training strategies that helped her prepare for a mountainous, high-altitude race while living in the flatlands of North Carolina.

From grinding out vert on the treadmill to learning how to pivot through multiple race cancellations, Jennifer’s story shows what’s possible when commitment meets belief.

Whether you’re training for your first 100-miler or looking for mental and physical strategies to take your running to the next level, this conversation is packed with insights you can use right away.

What you'll learn:

  • How Jennifer trained for 20,000+ feet of vert while living in North Carolina

  • The tricks she used to go from treadmill hater to treadmill warrior

  • Why building a strong mental game and emotional resilience is just as important as mileage

  • How to pivot training and goals when races get canceled or plans change

  • Fueling and mindset lessons learned from a tough 50-mile training race

    • How belief, coaching, and consistency carried her through the High Lonesome 100 finish line


    Huge thank you to Jennifer for coming on the show!
