Be honest, have you ever gone down the rabbit hole 🕳️ searching for the perfect checklist that will tell you you’re officially ready to run your first ultra? Yeah, me too. I used to think there had to be some step-by-step guide out there that would prove I’d trained enough, learned enough, and was ready to show up at the start line. Spoiler: that magical checklist doesn’t exist. In this episode, I’m breaking down: ✨ Why generic checklists will always fall short ✨ How chasing them only fuels s...

I've run this race 3 times now and even though the course never changes, it's always a challenge! The Ragged 75 Stage Race is three consecutive days of running around in the woods of New Hampshire and I would highly recommend it.

Jess Greene is BACK and this time we're not talking about a 200 mile race, but a 300 mile race! Listen as we talk about the many aspects of racing 300 miles. From riding 3 hours to get to the start, to losing one running buddy & picking up another, to dealing with the heat and lack of water, to getting lost, taking a shower mid-race 🤯, and crossing the finish line 6 days later. Enjoy! ⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RU...

You’ve heard of bears, moose, and maybe even the occasional skunk sighting on a run...But have you ever been chased by a woodchuck? 🫠 In this episode, I’m telling the wild (and slightly ridiculous) story of how a peaceful 10-mile road run turned into a full-tilt downhill sprint—with a woodchuck in hot pursuit. We’re talking: The exact moment I realized I was being chasedWhat went through my head mid-sprint (hint: it includes ER scenarios)A truckload of witnesses and a yellow lab 🛻My post-wood...

You missed a workout. Your knee feels weird. You forgot your gels. Cue the internal freak-out... right? In this episode, we’re talking about something that every runner deals with—making things a way bigger deal than they actually are. Whether it's a bad run, a missed session, or some mid-race drama, it's so easy to spin out and convince yourself that your entire race is doomed. (Spoiler alert: it’s not.) I'll share a couple stories that will illustrate my point (both in day-to-day life and i...

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. 👊 ⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING ...

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!) 💃🏻 JOIN THE 30-DAY SHAKEDOWN CHALLENGE 🛍️ SHOP THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS STORE ⭐️ GET THE ULTIM...

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 absolutel...

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...

Send us a text 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 thro...

Send us a text 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 m...

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.

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* ...

Send us a text Today's episode is the long awaited recap of the Southern States 200 race back in March. I traveled to this race to crew and pace for 2 of my athletes, Sarah and Frank (plus my *bonus* athlete, Nicolle) as they made their way from Georgia into Alabama. In this episode you'll hear my conversation with Sarah as we rehash everything from start to finish (literally!) I even convinced them to do some *voice memos* to help document the process.

Send us a text In today’s quick-hit episode, we’re talking about what it really means to be in the driver’s seat on your journey to your first 50K finish. No one is going to hand you a 50K finish line—you have to go out and make it happen. If you're serious about this goal, it’s time to shift from being passive to proactive. That means looking for opportunities to train, learn, connect with others, and build momentum. Whether it’s joining a run group, hiring a coach, or simply showing up and ...
