Ep. 298 - The Art of Racing Your Own Race

Ever gone out too fast and spent the rest of the race wondering what was I thinking ?  You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re talking about one of the hardest - and most important - skills in ultrarunning: racing your own race. We’ll dig into: 🏃‍♀️ How to tune out shiny PRs, social pressure, and other runners’ paces ⚡ Real strategies for pacing yourself in training and on race day 🧠 Mental tools for staying present and making smart decisions mid-run 🎯 Why individualized pacing and realistic race goals matter more than finish time fantasies Plus, I’ll share a few hilarious (and humbling) stories from runners who learned these lessons the hard way—including one who tried to chase a woman in a dog costume. Spoiler: it didn’t end well. 😅 🎧 Tune in, take notes, and get ready to run your next race on your terms. 👉 Don’t miss my FREE workshop on November 13th, where we’ll go even deeper into annual training planning for 2026.
