In this episode, I break down how to measure progress as an ultrarunner beyond just pace, mileage, or how hard a workout feels. Because if you want to hit your next big goal, whether that’s finishing your first ultra, PR’ing a 100 miler, or becoming a stronger mountain runner, you need to know if your training is moving you in the right direction. In this episode, we cover: The 5 pillars of ultramarathon progress Why pace alone can lie to you How to use grade-adjusted pace the right way The signs your durability is improving How recovery can show you’re getting fitter Why nutrition, hydration, mindset, and logistics matter just as much as fitness The most important question to ask yourself every week in training If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this training actually working?” this episode will help you know what to look for, what to track, and how to adjust when things aren’t clicking.
