  I Don't Have Taper Crazies. Is My Race Already Ruined?

  Jun 23, 20264 min

  I'm a week out from my first ultra marathon and deep into taper. After months of training, I'm feeling prepared, confident, and surprisingly calm, with all of my gear, nutrition, and race-day plans ready to go by the front door. Instead of chasing a specific finish time, I'm focused on controlling my effort, staying on top of my fueling and hydration, and enjoying the experience. Thanks to everyone who has followed my training and offered encouragement and advice, and I can't wait to share how the race goes in the next episode.

  Unhappy Toes and Happy Vests

  Jun 16, 20267 minS0

  <p>The countdown to race day is officially on! With just a few weeks until my first ultra marathon, I'm overthinking the final challenges of training, including obsessive concern about my big toes. I have nailed down my race-day gear, with two pairs of chafe-free shorts and soft, comfy shirts and gratitude that I bought a different vest because not all hydration vests are created equal. I share my hopefully practical advice for fellow new ultramarathon runners, pat myself on the back for testing every piece of gear before race day, and celebrate the support and wisdom from the more...

  F1 Versus NASCAR Pit Stops for Ultramarathon Aid Stations

  Jun 2, 20265 minS0

  <p>I'm a runner in my 50s training for my first ultra marathon, and this week I'm deep into the final training block, and apparently full-on race nesting mode. From color-coded calendars and meticulously packed aid station supplies to convincing myself I definitely don't need brand-new gear, I'm sharing the funny, obsessive, and surprisingly relatable side of getting ready for a big endurance challenge. Along the way, I talk about training highs and lows, the support of an incredibly patient husband, and why I'm finally starting to believe I might actually be ready for this ultra.</p><p>How I...

  May 26, 20265 minS0

  <p>This week on Momma Runs an Ultra, I celebrate my biggest training weekend yet, survive a humbling low in recovery, and discover what 96% humidity feels like when your shoes are literally squishing with sweat. As my first 50K draws closer, I'm embracing race-prep obsession, packing weeks in advance, debating the proper role of cake in endurance sports, and sharing some strong opinions on chemical shortcuts in masters running. It's an honest, funny look at the excitement, nerves, exhaustion, and hard-earned confidence that come with chasing a goal that's just big enough to make you wonder if you can really...

  Ultra Running Is Not Real

  May 19, 20266 minS0

  <p>In this episode of Momma Runs an Ultra, I share my excitement, nerves, and overthinking about my training for my first ultramarathon. After finishing my biggest back-to-back long runs yet, I’m surprised to realize the second long run still somehow feels easier than the first. Hoping that's a sign that the training is actually working, even if I still have no clue how to predict a realistic 50K+ finish time. </p><p>I talk through all the little race-day questions swirling in my head, from pacing and aid-station planning to figuring out how to explain to my family wh...
