Glute pain, sciatica, hamstring issues, and hip impingements can be some of the most confusing — and frustrating — injuries runners deal with. Because when pain shows up in the glute, hip, hamstring, or low back, the actual cause isn’t always where you feel it.In this episode, I’m joined again by physical therapist and strength coach Kameron Harder to continue our injury prevention and rehab series for runners. This time, we break down some of the trickiest problem areas in the posterior chain and hips — including why glute pain might actually be coming from your low back, how sciatica really works, why hamstring tightness is often a strength issue, and what runners need to know about hip impingements.In this episode, we cover:Why glute pain is often misdiagnosedHow low back and SI joint issues can refer pain into the gluteThe difference between true sciatica and general nerve-related painWhat to do for hamstring tightness and hamstring injuriesWhy stretching isn’t always the answer for hamstring painThe best strength exercises for healthier glutes and hamstringsHow range of motion, control, and strength all play a role in injury preventionWhy heavy strength training matters for building more resilient runnersSHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

Speed work can be one of the biggest game-changers in ultramarathon training — but only if you know how to use it the right way.In this episode, I break down the three key types of speed work that every ultrarunner should understand: VO2 max workouts, lactate threshold workouts, and steady state workouts.You’ll learn what each workout actually does, how they’re different from each other, when to use them in your training, and how to structure them so you can build more fitness without blowing yourself up.I also explain why speed work matters for ultrarunners, even if most of your race is done at an easy effort, and how these workouts can help you raise your fitness ceiling, improve your ability to sustain faster paces, and become stronger and more durable on race day.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why running easy all the time can eventually lead to a fitness plateauHow VO2 max work helps raise your overall fitness ceilingWhy lactate threshold workouts help you run faster for longerHow steady state workouts build aerobic strength and durabilityWhen to use each type of speed workout in your training blockExample workouts you can steal and use in your own trainingHow to safely introduce speed work without increasing injury riskWhy uphill speed work can be a cheat code for ultrarunnersSHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

Training camps can be one of the most valuable tools in ultramarathon training — especially when you know how to use them the right way.In this episode, I recap my 3-day, 71-mile Western States 100 training camp and break down the biggest lessons I learned from running the course less than a month out from race day.I cover why training camps are so useful, how to structure one for your own race, what I learned about the Western States course, how I’m adjusting my race strategy, and the key takeaways around pacing, heat management, downhill durability, hydration, nutrition, and mental approach.This episode is not just a Western States recap. It’s a guide for how to use any training camp as a dress rehearsal so you can show up to your next ultra more prepared, more confident, and more ready to execute.SHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

Training for an ultramarathon isn’t just about logging miles — it’s about figuring out how to fit those miles into a real life that includes work, relationships, responsibilities, stress, and everything else that comes with being a human.In this Q&A episode, I’m answering listener questions on some of the biggest challenges everyday ultrarunners face: how to balance training with a busy schedule, what to do when GI issues hit on race day, whether the 10% mileage rule actually matters, how to plan long run routes based on time instead of distance, and more.This episode is packed with practical takeaways to help you train smarter, troubleshoot problems before they ruin your race, and build a training plan that actually fits your life.

Cocodona 250 delivered some of the most inspiring performances in ultrarunning — and inside those performances are lessons every ultrarunner can use, whether you’re chasing a podium, a PR, or simply trying to reach the finish line.In this episode, I break down the biggest takeaways from this year’s Cocodona 250, including what Rachel Entrekin’s historic overall win and Kilian Korth’s men’s course record can teach us about belief, preparation, execution, and resilience in long ultras.Because in races this long, fitness matters — but it’s not the only thing that determines your result. Your mindset, aid station strategy, fueling plan, decision-making, and ability to problem-solve when everything goes wrong can be the difference between a breakthrough and a DNF.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why “unreasonable” goals might be the exact thing that help you level upHow to pair big belief with the actions required to actually make it realThe two biggest keys to faster, more efficient aid stationsWhy sometimes a calculated risk can save your entire raceHow to know when to fix a problem immediately versus keep movingWhy you don’t have to eat real food in long ultras if your fueling plan worksHow good weather can trick you into making bad race-day decisionsWhy a bad stretch early in a 100- or 200-mile race does not mean your race is overThis one is for any ultrarunner who wants to race smarter, believe bigger, and become harder to break when things get tough.SHOW LINKS:Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

A few days ago, I ended up in the hospital after a run with atrial fibrillation (AFib) — and while I’m doing okay now, the experience shook me up and taught me some lessons that I think every runner needs to hear. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what happened, what the doctors told me, how I’m doing now, and the biggest takeaways I’m walking away with from the whole experience. This one is personal, but I also think it’s important. Because as runners, it’s really easy to convince ourselves to push through things, ignore warning signs, or downplay what our body is trying to tell us. This experience reminded me that getting help when something is wrong is not weakness — it’s wisdom. In this episode, you’ll learn:What Happened During And After The Run That Sent Me To The HospitalWhat AFib Is And Why The Doctors Took It So SeriouslyWhy Asking For Help Right Away Can Be The Smartest Move A Runner MakesThe Biggest Mental Battle I Faced When Returning To Running AfterwardHow Fear And Hesitation Can Show Up After A Scary Health ExperienceWhat The Doctors Told Me About Returning To TrainingThe Biggest Lessons I’m Taking Away From This Experience Moving Forward If this episode resonated with you, I hope it helps a ton.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

Fitness doesn’t guarantee success on race day.You can have the highest VO₂ max in the field…You can run insane workouts…You can show up tapered and ready…And still fall into the mental traps that sabotage your race.In this episode, I break down the biggest mental traps ultrarunners face — from going out too hard, to walking when you should be running, to not eating when you don’t feel like eating, to letting negative self-talk take control.These are the exact lessons I’ve learned from my own 100-milers, 200-milers, Cocodona, Tahoe, Javelina — and from coaching hundreds of athletes on the Everyday Ultra Racing Team.We cover:• Why “what is predictable is preventable”• How to pace properly using RPE (and avoid blowing up early)• The trap of thinking you’re fitter than you are (and how to ground belief in data)• When to push late in a race• Why walking when you don’t need to is costing you HUGE time• How to stay disciplined with fueling (even when you’re sick of gels)• The power of breaking races into small chunks• Why you need a deep toolkit of mental strategies• How to handle negative self-talk when it shows upThis episode is about building discipline.Because discipline doesn’t care about feelings.It cares about execution.If you want to race smarter, stronger, and more confidently in your next ultra — this one is for you.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, I sit down with Everyday Ultra coach Ben Lehman — an ultrarunner whose journey into the sport started from a place much deeper than finish times and race results.After losing his best friend, Ben turned to running as a way to process grief, rebuild himself, and eventually find purpose through endurance. What began with Spartan races turned into a passion for long mountain adventures — including completing his first 200-mile race at Cocodona 250.In this conversation, we talk about the emotional side of ultrarunning, the mental skills required to survive multi-day races, and why endurance sports can become a powerful tool for healing, identity, and growth.We also dive into Ben’s training philosophy, lessons learned from Cocodona, pacing mistakes, sleep strategies, aid station efficiency, and how he now coaches athletes preparing for their biggest races yet.This is a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation — about pain, resilience, and learning how to keep moving forward when things get hard.In this episode, we cover:• How Ben got into running after losing his best friend• Why ultrarunning became a form of healing• Lessons learned from completing Cocodona 250• The mental “system override” that helps during dark moments• Why pacing and patience matter more than fitness• How to approach sleep during multi-day races• Training lessons for 100-mile and 200-mile athletesIf you’re training for an ultra — or navigating something difficult in life — this episode will remind you why endurance is about more than just running.SHOW LINKS:Want to work with Ben as your coach to help you crush your big ultra goals?

But what if that’s not actually how real progress happens?In this solo episode, Everyday Ultra Coach Alyssa Clark reflects on the past year and shares the lessons that running — and life — kept reinforcing again and again.Not tactics.Not workouts.But the stuff underneath it all.In this episode, we talk about:• Why trying to control everything often creates more chaos• The quiet difference between consistency and flexibility• What finally made change possible after years of resistance• How kindness plays a bigger role in this sport than most people realize• Why “showing up” matters more than doing something perfectlyIf you’ve been feeling behind… overwhelmed… or unsure about what you’re supposed to be doing next — this episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from overhauling your life.It comes from continuing to show up.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?
