About this listen

 She Runs Ultras is about (yup, you guessed it) running ultras. Lots of other running podcasts out there are full of gear & race reviews and interviews with the experts telling unrelatable stories about their record breaking times and super human feats. Now…don’t get me wrong, I’ve learned some great stuff from those podcasts...But what about those of us that aren’t getting paid to do this?Those of us that are mid to back of the pack runners?And those of us that have never won a damn thing? What was out there for us? Yeah, I couldn’t find it - so I decided to make it! And it just so happens that I’m getting geared up to start training for some races in 2021. So throughout this series, I’ll share what really happens when a typical, non-professional runner takes on the challenge of running an ultra. Got some races planned for this year? Let’s train together.From the emotional & physical ups and downs, to the details of my actual training plan, and the excitement (not to mention nerves) that build as race day gets closer...I promise not to hold anything back. So whether you’re already a member of the ultra community or if you’re just ultra curious...Hit subscribe and let’s do this!© 2025 She Runs Ultras Hygiene & Healthy Living Running & Jogging Social Sciences

    Ep 280 - What If Your Limits Are Totally Made Up?
    Jul 4 2025

    What is your limit?

    In this tough-love episode, I’m sharing a question that’s been bouncing around in my head as I train for Moab 240—and why it might just change the way you think about your running (and your life).

    We’re talking self-imposed limits, fear of failure, DNFs, and why most runners never even get close to discovering what they’re truly capable of.

    If you’ve ever thought “I could never do that…”—this one’s for you.

    Hit play and let’s go there. 👊

    Ep. 279 - The "C" Word 😁 In Ultra Running
    Jun 27 2025

    In this episode we're talking about the "C" word of ultra running...2 of them actually.

    They are: Countdown & Consistency.

    We'll talk about the importance of both, how they are intertwined, and why they are crucial to your ultra running success.

    I'm also sharing some of what the She Runs Ultras Crew has been up to and what we're planning for 2026 (and how you can get in on the action!)

    Ep. 278 - Drummer Hill 50k Recap
    Jun 20 2025

    In this episode, I recap my day at the rainy, rocky, and rooty Drummer Hill 50K—a small, looped trail race in New Hampshire with surprise crew support, soaking wet trails, and a whole lotta mud. I break down each lap, from smooth sailing in lap one to survival mode in lap four (spoiler: it rained *a lot*). We talk slippery bridges, mental battles, perimenopause aches, and why this race was all about practicing—not racing. Plus, a shoutout to bug spray, quesadillas, and the power of showing up.

I highly recommend this podcast to those who are thinking about training for an ultra. Start at the beginning and get a comprehensive view of skillful mindset, practices, and big-picture perspective. I am loving listening to this while training. I find her blend of the high-functioning stuff with her quirky wisdom (stuff one has to have lived through to be able to really impart on to others in a meaningful fashion) so inspiring on my own journey to trail ultras.
