This one gets into the real stuff: the magic of watching runners cross the finish line, the chaos of putting on a first-year race, the lessons we learned, and why doing hard things in life can actually make you a stronger ultrarunner. I also break down how I’ve been navigating training through life stress, low sleep, race directing, travel, and big goals — and why sometimes the smartest move is not to force the work, but to honor recovery so you can come back stronger. In this episode, I cover: How my Western States 100 training has been going Why “flex deloads” can be a game-changer for busy ultrarunners The biggest lessons from putting on Desert Peak Ultra The moments from race weekend that made all the exhaustion worth it What we’re improving for Desert Peak next year Why life challenges can become fuel during an ultra How to reframe hard races when life already feels heavy A sneak peek at what’s coming next for Desert Peak Ultra Whether you’re training for a big race, trying to balance life with running, or chasing something that scares you, this episode is a reminder that the hard stuff is often what changes you the most.
