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. 216 - What To Do When The Fear Takes Hold

I think that we can all agree that the fear we experience at the beginning (or during the early stages of training) is REAL!

In this episode I'm going to share how I deal with the fear. 🛍️ SHOP THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS STORE ⭐️ GET THE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS U...

It would be this: DON'T QUIT. Quitting will slow you down. It'll chip away at your confidence and it will have you caught in a never ending cycle. There's going to be lots of ups and downs on the path towards crossing the finish line of your race. Some days you'll feel like you're on top of the world, you're firing on all cylinders, and like you're completely untouchable.

Ep. 207 - You're Not A Real Ultra Runner Unless...

I'm betting you've said this to yourself at least once or twice. We all have a preconceived notion of what it means to be a "real" runner (or ultra runner). For some of us it's based on how fast we run, or the number of times we run a week, or how far we run....and the list goes on. We build these concepts up in our head based on our experiences, things we've seen or read or heard, maybe because of what someone said to us. In today's episode I want to share a couple of stories that will help you...

I think: "Could I do this race right now?" 99% of the time, the answer is NO (obviously!) because I'm usually picking races when it's my off season or when I'm taking a break so while I might be fit, I'm certainly not race ready!
