If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m too slow… too old… not cut out for this…” — this episode is going to hit close to home.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and most toxic) patterns I see in runners: negative self-talk that sabotages your training before you ever get to race day.

After reading through recent coaching applications, so many women are holding themselves back not because of their training…but because of the story they’re telling themselves about their abilities.

We’ll talk about:

• Why “talking shit to yourself” is more harmful than any missed workout
• How self-doubt shows up (and disguises itself) in your training
• The problem with fake hype, affirmations, and trying to “force confidence”
• How to shift your mindset in a way that actually feels believable
• Simple ways to reframe fear, failure, and lack of confidence into something useful

This episode is part mindset coaching, part reality check and it’s especially for anyone who feels like they’re doing the work physically…but getting in their own way mentally.

Because at the end of the day, you can’t expect to overcome a challenge if you’re the one creating it.

When you think about “successful” ultra training…your brain probably goes straight to outcomes.

Finishing. PRs. Going farther than you ever have before.

But here’s the problem…That’s not where success actually lives.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why successful ultra training is process-based not outcome-based and why focusing only on the end result is the fastest way to stall your progress.

We’ll talk about:

• Why outcomes (like finishing a race or hitting a time goal) are just moments in time—not the full picture
• The real, unsexy “wins” that actually drive progress (and why you’re probably overlooking them)
• How focusing only on mileage can back you into a corner
• What to do when you hit that inevitable “freak out” moment in training
• How to build a process that actually works for your life, schedule, and starting point
• Why consistency, awareness, and small daily actions matter more than any single workout

If you’ve been chasing a goal for a while and feel like you’re not getting anywhere…

This episode will help you zoom out, reset, and start looking at your training in a way that actually leads to progress.

Because at the end of the day:

Process over outcome. Every single time.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things…reading the articles, trying the plans, tweaking your training and yet somehow your progress feels stalled?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common ways runners unknowingly sabotage their training especially in the age of social media and endless online advice.

When you’re not sure what to do, it’s easy to start grabbing ideas from everywhere:
a training plan here, a workout there, a tip from someone in a Facebook group…

Before long you’re trying seven different approaches at once and wondering why nothing seems to be working.

In this episode, I’m sharing a message from a coaching client that perfectly illustrates this trap and why constantly changing plans, piling on more training, or chasing quick reassurance can actually derail your progress.

We’ll talk about:

• Why doing more training often makes things worse
• The hidden downside of following too many plans at once
• Why most runners abandon a strategy before it ever has time to work
• How reflection and patience are the real keys to long-term progress

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your training is a little chaotic lately… this episode will help you take a step back and get refocused.
