In this episode, Sally answers listener questions about overcoming mental barriers during races, stepping up from the half marathon to longer distances, recovering after a first ultra, and building a career in trail-running media. We also have an honest and encouraging conversation about body image, comparison, and why every runner—regardless of pace, size, or experience—belongs in the running community. Thanks for tuning in - enjoy!
Other Episode Highlights:
How to prepare for the mental wall that often appears late in a marathon or ultra.Why identifying your fears before race day can help you respond differently when things get hard.The simple race-day strategy of slowing down, walking, fueling, and refusing to let temporary discomfort make the decision for you.How to know when you are ready to move from a half marathon to a marathon or 50K.Why curiosity and excitement may be better indicators of readiness than waiting to feel completely confident.The biggest training adjustment when moving up to the marathon: gradually extending the weekly long run while including recovery weeks.What nausea, shaking, poor sleep, and temperature-regulation problems after a first ultra may reveal about hydration and depletion.Practical advice for entering trail-running photography, filmmaking, or media by creating consistently, building relationships, and starting humbly.Why comparison can convince runners that they do not belong—even when they are already doing the bravest thing by showing up.Sally’s reminder that your pace, body shape, and clothing size do not determine whether you are a “real” runner.Choose Strong Community HighlightsSend in your questions!

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 - 2h 07min - 73 - #73 Is Your Purpose & Your Why the Same Thing?
When motivation is low or when the struggle is real, in racing or in life, we usually fall back on our "why", to get us through. What happens if your "why" isn't strong enough? What's the difference between your purpose and your why? Sally tackles this question and others in this episode! Enjoy!

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 - 1h 18min - 72 - #72 Saying Goodbye
Saying goodbye to friends, jobs, certain seasons of life, family members, or careers in order to start something new, or to pursue something fresh, is almost never easy. Whether it's you staying behind saying goodbye or if it's you saying goodbye to start a new journey, both can be difficult - in a bittersweet way. As parents, we closed a chapter of life this past week as we said "goodbye" to our Daughter, as she moved states to start college. Such an exciting season for her, and for us, as we watch her grow into an amazing adult. In this, rather raw episode, we talk about our time this past week as we headed out to AZ to spend a few days hanging out and moving in, our new college Freshman daughter! We are sure you will be encouraged as you listen in, as we know you can relate to similar transitions in life. Enjoy & thanks for listening 🙏🏼
