She Runs Ultras: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Meghan Gould
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

Ep. 330 - Is Your Environment Holding You Back? Here's What You Can Do About It
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.

Ep. 329 - 5 Tips If You Think You Need to Run the Full Distance Before Race Day
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.

Ep. 326 - The Hoodie I Didn't Earn...Or Did I?
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...

Ep. 325 - Sleep Deprivation Training: Is That Really a Thing?
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...

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...
