  • Summary

  • 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!

    Ep. 252 - Speed💨 vs. Effort 💪🏼
    Dec 20 2024

    In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between speed and effort—and why focusing on effort can be a game-changer for trail and ultra runners. If you’ve ever stressed about race cutoffs or felt stuck trying to “get faster,” this one’s for you.

    We’ll talk about why traditional road running concepts like pace don’t translate well to trails and introduce the RPE scale (Rate of Perceived Exertion) as a smarter way to train. Learn how effort-based workouts can help you improve endurance, delay fatigue, and finish your races stronger—without constantly staring at your watch.

    Whether you’re new to ultras or just looking for fresh training strategies, this episode will help you rethink your approach to speed and build confidence on the trails.
