She Runs Ultras

Meghan Gouldwww.meghan-gould.com
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!

Ep. 184 - "Anyone else lost without a training plan?"

Allison from the Run Your First 50k Facebook group posted this a couple weeks ago: " Anyone else feeling lost without a training plan? As some of you might remember, I ran my first 50K at the end of April. And then I did a trail Ragnar and another race or two that didn’t necessarily require specific training. But what I’ve found is that I kind of feel lost without a training plan. I trained solo and did the requisite Zone 2 for my 50K, and now I am too slow for most social running. And life has ...

Ep. 182 - ♥️ Heart Rate Zones vs. RPE - Which One Is Better?

Do you know the difference between heart rate training and rate of perceived exertion? Back when I first started doing ultras, I had no clue about either one… I mean, I had heard of heart rate zones but I was thoroughly confused about how to integrate them into my training, so I didn’t! Not to mention that I thought that type of training was for elite runners and I’m clearly not one of them! Fast forward to the present and I’ve used both of these methods to train for everything from 50k’s to 200...

Ep. 180 - 🥱 Totally Exhausted After A Long Run? This One Is For YOU!

Back when I was training for road marathons, I used to come home at the end of my long weekend runs, collapse on my couch, and sleep for hours.
