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!)

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.

At the gym the other day, someone asked me:
“Got any advice for a fat guy who wants to start running… asking for a friend?” 😄

That sparked a convo about something I always teach runners—whether you’re training for your first 5K or your first 100-miler:

👉 Start with walking.
👉 Build from there.
👉 Use the Walk/Run Gradient.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my favorite strategy for building endurance without wrecking your body in the process. We’re talking about:

• Why walking workouts absolutely count
• What people get wrong about “time on feet”
• How to use the walk/run gradient to level up safely
• Why this applies to every distance, from 5K to 200M

This is the foundation I use with clients inside my She Runs Ultras coaching membership—and honestly? It works at every level.

It’s coaching support without the 1:1 price tag—and it’s coming at the end of the month!

What if the only thing standing between you and your big, scary goal… was the question you’ve been asking yourself?

In this episode, I’m digging into one of the most powerful mindset shifts I’ve made as a runner and a coach: asking better questions. You’ll hear how I used to sabotage my own progress, why “Why can’t I do this?” is the worst, and how to reframe your thinking so you actually move forward.

If you’ve been stuck, plateaued, or in full-on beat-yourself-up mode lately… this one’s for you.

In this episode of She Runs Ultras, I’m diving into the topic of racing ultras close together—specifically, why I’m running two 50Ks just four weeks apart, how I’m managing my training in between, and what I recommend if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Last week, I shared the behind-the-scenes of my Bloodroot 50K finish (spoiler alert: it was a grind but worth it!). Now, I’ve got another 50K on deck for next weekend, so I thought it would be super helpful to talk through:

• Why I’m doing two races so close together
• How I’m adjusting my training in the 4-week gap
• A recent convo with a client who’s racing a 50-miler and a 50K back-to-back—and how her “I need another long run!” mindset might sound familiar (and why I disagreed)

💡 Want a 1:1 Coaching Power Hour?

I’m opening up a few 60-minute strategy sessions for women training for ultras who want support but aren’t ready for full membership. If you're interested, join my email list—I’ll be dropping the sign-up link there first!

In this episode, I’m taking you inside my first 50K of 2025 — the wild, wet, and wicked Bloodroot Ultra in Pittsfield, Vermont. Spoiler alert: it rained for 10+ days before race weekend, so the course was less "trail" and more "swampy obstacle course."

From overflowing rivers and knee-deep mud to surprise cutoffs and surprise aid station visits from my husband, this one had everything. I talk gear (spoiler: I was overpacked), mindset, and the moment at mile 20 where I had to make a tough decision: quit or keep pushing.

You'll hear about:

• The Spartan-inspired terrain (minus the man-made obstacles)
• Slippery bridges, sketchy climbs, and how *not* to preserve dry feet
• A race that almost got the better of me — and why I kept going anyway

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to keep moving when the fun is gone and the mud won’t quit, this one’s for you.

In this episode of She Runs Ultras, I sit down with professional age group triathlete Colin Cook — a multi-time Ironman World Championship competitor and the founder of Peak Recovery in Manchester, NH. We talk about what it takes to perform at a high level in endurance sports, the critical role recovery plays in long-term success, and how everyday athletes can use simple tools to stay strong and injury-free.

Colin also shares his personal journey in triathlon, what led him to open Peak Recovery, and his top advice for athletes training for big goals — like running your first 50k!

Got a race coming up? In this episode, I’m sharing the *three key things* I’m doing this week to make sure I feel strong, confident, and ready when I toe the line for my upcoming 50K.

Here’s what I cover:

💧 Staying on top of hydration — why waiting until the day before the race is a huge mistake

😴 Prioritizing sleep — especially the *two nights before*, and how to create more rest overall

🧘‍♀️ Doubling down on mobility — because those last-minute mystery aches are *always* a thing

Plus, a bonus tip about… toenails (yes, really!) and why trimming them *at the right time* matters more than you think.

And if you're running your first 50K this summer or fall and you're feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or just need support—don’t miss the details about the **She Runs Ultras Membership**. Doors open **Monday, May 12** and there are just 8 spots available!

🎧 Tune in now and set yourself up for your strongest race yet.
