    Ep. 343 - Two Unconventional Tips For Choosing Your First 50k

    2026/09/04 | 17 mins.
    Choosing your first 50K can feel like a catch-22: how do you choose a race that matches your abilities when you’ve never run that distance before?
    In this episode, I’m sharing two unconventional tips to help you choose a first 50K that gives you a fair opportunity to succeed. 
    We’ll talk about why you shouldn’t stack too many “firsts” into one race and why your first 50K should give you enough room to make mistakes, adjust, and learn as you go.
    You don’t need to find the easiest race or guarantee your finish. You need to choose a challenge that allows you to be a successful beginner!

    Ep. 342 - 9 Signs You're Ready To Train For Your First 50k

    2026/08/28 | 30 mins.
    Are you ready to start training for a 50K or do you still feel like you need to become a stronger, faster, more experienced runner first?
    In this episode, I’m sharing nine signs that you may be ready to begin training for your first 50K. We’ll talk about the difference between being ready to train for the distance and being ready to run it today, why you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start, and which qualities matter more than speed or weekly mileage.
    You’ll learn how consistency, available training time, recovery, fueling, walking, and your willingness to learn all factor into your readiness. And if you discover you’re not quite ready yet, you’ll know exactly what to work on next!
    You don’t need absolute confidence or proof that you can already cover the distance. 
    You need an honest starting point, enough time to prepare, and a willingness to do the work.

    Ep. 341 - If You Can Run 25k, Then You Can Do 50k!

    2026/08/21 | 45 mins.
    If you’ve completed a 25K and you’re wondering whether you could ever run a 50K, this episode is for you!
    In the first episode of my new 25K to 50K series, we’re talking about why a 50K isn’t simply “twice as hard,” the skills you’ve already developed that will transfer to ultrarunning, and the new skills you’ll build during training.
    I’ll also explain the difference between being ready to run a 50K and being ready to begin training for one, why you don’t need to get faster at the 25K distance first, and why you shouldn’t wait until you feel completely confident to consider signing up.
    Running your first 50K doesn’t require you to become an entirely different runner. It requires expansion—not reinvention.

    Ep. 340 - OMG It's Happening Everybody Stay Calm!

    2026/08/14 | 28 mins.
    📣 Big news: I’m hosting my very own ultra in October 2027!
    In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve decided so far, why I chose a timed race on a looped course, and how this format will help women make the leap into ultras without the pressure of traditional distances and cutoffs.
    I’ll also be documenting the entire process of creating this event and inviting you to help shape it along the way.
    If you’ve been waiting until you feel completely ready to do something big, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to know exactly how it will work before you begin.

    Ep. 339 - The Truth About Social Media That Every Ultra Runner Needs To Hear

    2026/08/07 | 29 mins.
    What if more than half of the accounts you're seeing online aren't even real?
    In this episode, I'm talking about a statistic that completely changed the way I think about social media and why every runner should think twice before accepting training advice, motivation, or inspiration from the internet at face value.
    I also share why I've intentionally chosen not to fill this podcast with sponsorships, affiliate deals, or ads, and why protecting the trust of this community will always matter more to me than chasing another revenue stream.
    If you've ever wondered who you should actually listen to when it comes to your training, this episode is for you.
