Ep. 330 - Is Your Environment Holding You Back? Here's What You Can Do About It Artwork

She Runs Ultras

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!

Most runners think they need more motivation, discipline, or a better training plan.

But what if the bigger factor is the environment you're training in?

In this episode, Meghan explores how the people around you, the content you consume, and the systems you've built into your life can either support your ultra goals or make them harder than they need to be.

In this episode:

• How the people around you shape what feels possible
• Why consistency has more to do with environment than motivation
• The hidden impact of social media, podcasts, and online communities
• Practical ways to create an environment that supports your goals
• Why you don't have to figure out ultrarunning on your own

If you're training for your first or farthest ultra, this episode is for you.
