About this listen

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) that build as race day gets closer...I promise not to hold anything back. So whether you’re already a member of the ultra community or if you’re just ultra curious...Hit subscribe and let’s do this!© 2026 She Runs Ultras Hygiene & Healthy Living Running & Jogging Social Sciences

    You guys know that one of my main missions is to get more women into the sport of ultras, so when my friend Meredith reached out to me and said: "What do you think about THIS?" I said: "I think you should come on the podcast to talk about it!" And here we are!

    In this episode I'm chatting with my friend and fellow ultra runner, Caryn Lamphier. If you remember back in my Moab 240 recap episode, I mention running with a group of people on day / night one...Caryn is one of those people. I wanted to get her perspective on how the race went after we parted ways...here's what she had to say!

  • Ep. 310 - Growth Is Cringe & I'm Proof!
    Jan 16 2026

    Every once in a while, I get a message from someone who’s just discovered the podcast and tells me they’re starting from episode one.

    And every time…I cringe a little.

    Not because I’m embarrassed (okay, maybe a little).
    But because that version of me isn’t who I am anymore.

    In this episode, I talk about why that cringe actually matters—and why it’s a good thing.

    If you’re not uncomfortable with your past work, past decisions, or past version of yourself…there’s a good chance you haven’t grown very much. And staying the same might feel safe, but it’s not how progress happens.

    This episode is a bit of a rant (in a loving way).
    About growth.
    About change.
    About letting yourself evolve without apologizing for who you used to be.

    If you’ve ever looked back at old training logs, old goals, old beliefs, or old versions of yourself and thought, “Yikes…”—this one’s for you.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Why cringing at your past self is actually a sign of growth
    • What it means when you outgrow old ideas, strategies, or identities
    • Why staying the same is far more dangerous than changing
    • How this applies to training, coaching, and life in general
    • And why I’m okay not being the same coach—or person—I was years ago

    You don’t need to erase your past to grow past it.
    And you don’t need to stay loyal to a version of yourself that no longer fits.

    Growth is cringe.
    And that’s how you know it’s working.
