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. 300 - Top 10 Reasons Women 40+ Are Secretly Built for Endurance
    Nov 21 2025

    In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the Top 10 Reasons Midlife Women Are Built for Ultramarathons — and trust me, once you hear this list, you’ll never look at your 40s, 50s, or even 60s the same way again.

    We’re talking about the real strengths women develop through decades of life experience — the grit, the patience, the emotional resilience, the ability to problem-solve in chaos, and the deep understanding of their own bodies. These aren’t just nice-to-have traits… they’re the exact skills that ultrarunning demands.

    Whether you're training for your first 50k, thinking about it, or secretly wondering if you're “too old” to go after a big running goal (you’re not), this episode will remind you EXACTLY why midlife is your ultramarathon superpower era.

    You’ll Learn:

    • Why endurance actually improves with age
    • How lived experience becomes your strongest race-day asset
    • The mindset advantages women 40+ bring to distance running
    • What makes midlife athletes uniquely unstoppable
    • Why your best, strongest, smartest miles may still be ahead

    If you’ve ever doubted your ability to go long, today’s episode is the mindset reset you didn’t know you needed.

  • Ep. 298 - The Art of Racing Your Own Race
    Nov 7 2025

    Ever gone out too fast and spent the rest of the race wondering what was I thinking ? You’re not alone.

    In this episode, we’re talking about one of the hardest - and most important - skills in ultrarunning: racing your own race.

    We’ll dig into:
    🏃‍♀️ How to tune out shiny PRs, social pressure, and other runners’ paces
    ⚡ Real strategies for pacing yourself in training and on race day
    🧠 Mental tools for staying present and making smart decisions mid-run
    🎯 Why individualized pacing and realistic race goals matter more than finish time fantasies

    Plus, I’ll share a few hilarious (and humbling) stories from runners who learned these lessons the hard way—including one who tried to chase a woman in a dog costume. Spoiler: it didn’t end well. 😅

    🎧 Tune in, take notes, and get ready to run your next race on your terms.

    👉 Don’t miss my FREE workshop on November 13th, where we’ll go even deeper into annual training planning for 2026. You’ll learn how to map your races, recovery, and build phases so you start next year with confidence and clarity.
