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

Most runners think they need more motivation, discipline, or a better training plan. But what if the bigger factor is the environment you're training in? In this episode, Meghan explores how the people around you, the content you consume, and the systems you've built into your life can either support your ultra goals or make them harder than they need to be. In this episode: • How the people around you shape what feels possible • Why consistency has more to do with environment than motivation...
A lot of runners (especially first-time 50k runners) feel like they need to run the full race distance before race day just to prove they can do it. In this episode, I’m breaking down why I don’t recommend that approach… but also sharing how I’d coach someone through it if they were absolutely dead set on doing it anyway 🙃 We’re talking about: why timing matters more than you thinkthe difference between a race simulation and an actual racehow to avoid turning one long run into a recovery disa...

Caught up in the excitement of the coverage and impulsively signed up for an ultra? 😅 You are definitely not alone. In this episode I’m talking about the very real “OH SH*T” moment that can happen after the adrenaline wears off and the reality of training starts to sink in. We’ll walk through 6 important things to think about before you panic-cancel your race registration — including timelines, training readiness, schedule realities, fears, mindset, and why that spark of inspiration matters m...
In this episode, I’m talking about something a lot of runners believe and that is you only “earn” the right to wear race gear if you finish. After my DNF at the Moab 240 in 2025, I couldn’t bring myself to wear the hoodie I bought at the race. It sat in my closet for months because, in my mind, I hadn’t “earned” it. But over time, my perspective shifted. This episode is about what that hoodie represents now. More importantly, I talk about: Why DNFs aren’t something to be afraid ofHow setbacks...
With races like the Arizona Monster and Cocodona 250 bringing overnight running into focus, this episode tackles a common question: should you train for sleep deprivation? Short answer: no. Sleep deprivation isn’t a trainable skill. It doesn’t improve performance and it comes with real downsides like poor decision-making, slower reaction time, increased injury risk, and reduced recovery. Instead, focus on what does help: Build skills (running in the dark, using your gear, managing effort, men...
What would your training look like if you didn’t have access to social media, Google, podcasts…or even this one? In this episode, we explore what “old school” training might teach you about consistency, confidence, and actually making progress without all the noise. From learning to trust your body to stepping away from constant comparison, this is a conversation about simplifying your approach so you can focus on what really matters. You’ll hear a real client story about what happened when s...
What happens to all the gear you don’t use anymore? In this episode, I’m talking with Jes Parker, founder of Take 2 Trail - a platform built to give trail running gear a second life. We talk about the real cost of this sport, the amount of waste most runners don’t think about, and how rehoming gear can make trail running more accessible for everyone. In This Episode, We Cover: How Take 2 Trail got startedThe cost (and waste) problem in trail runningWhy used gear matters more than you thinkMak...
