Ep. 291 - DNF Drama - My Battle with Bloodroot 50K Results
What happens when you finish a 50K…but the official results say otherwise? That’s exactly what happened to me back in May when I ran the Bloodroot 50K. I crossed the finish line. I’ve got the pictures & the Garmin data to prove it. But a couple weeks later, a former client emailed me to say: “Not sure if you know this, but UltrasignUp has you listed as a DNF.” Cue five months of back-and-forth with Spartan (the race organizer), unanswered emails, dead ends, and more marketing emails...

Cue the “oh shit” moment. If your race is only 6–8 weeks away and your training has completely fallen apart, what do you do? Do you just throw in the towel?

Ep. 289 - No Hills? No Excuse: How to Train for Elevation Anywhere
Flat terrain? No problem. Learn how to train for race-day climbs with the tools you already have. Think you can’t train for an ultra with elevation because you live in the city or someplace flat? Think again. 🏙️⛰️ In this episode, I’m breaking down how to prepare for the ups and downs of race day—even if your “hills” look more like parking garage ramps or stairwells.

Ep. 287 - How To Know If You're Actually Ready To Race
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...

Ep. 286 - Heat Exhaustion, Self Talk, & Mental Strategies at the Ragged 75 Stage Race
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. This year, I faced some heat related issues on day three and I want to share a strategy that you can use to help dig yourself out of a deep mental spiral. ⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS COACHING MEMBERSHIP...

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.)

Ep. 280 - What If Your Limits Are Totally Made Up?
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 ...

Ep. 278 - Drummer Hill 50k Recap
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...
