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.

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.

As we wrap up another big year of racing, a lot of runners are asking the same question:

👉 “What do I do now that I’m done racing for the year?”
👉 “How do I keep my fitness without losing everything I worked so hard for?”
👉 “What if I take time off and can’t get it back?”

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re talking about why it’s not only okay to let some fitness go — it’s actually a smart move.

Because here’s the truth: that peak fitness level you hit for your race? It might not be sustainable year-round. And trying to hold onto it forever can lead to burnout, overuse injuries, plateaus, and frustration.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• 🏃‍♀️ What really determines how long recovery takes after a race
• 🔍 The key factors that affect your bounce-back time (effort level, pre-race fitness, illness, injury, and recovery habits)
• 😴 Why sleeping, eating, and actually resting matter more than squeezing in “maintenance” runs
• 💪 The hidden benefits of becoming temporarily deconditioned
• 🧠 How letting go of fitness now sets you up to build back stronger next season

You’ll also hear how I’m guiding my She Runs Ultras members through this very same process — with structured downtime, smart planning for 2026, and a focus on recovery, reflection, and rebuilding with intention.

And… because I know this time of year can feel weird (you’re not training for anything, but you’re not “done” either), I’m doing something special:

In this episode, I’m sharing why running isn’t selfish—it’s survival.

I talk about:

• Why I keep politics and world events out of this space
• The role running plays in processing stress and life
• How to handle people who don’t support your training
• The “deathbed perspective” that can change how you chase your goals
• Why I’m taking on Moab 240 (and why you should take your own leap)

This one’s about giving yourself permission to go after what you want—without guilt, without apology.
