Ep. 263 - 3 Things I Wouldn't Stress About While Training For Your First 50k

Training for your first ultra? Don’t get stuck stressing over the perfect race, perfect training plan, or perfect gear. In this episode, I break down three things that aren’t worth overthinking and what to do instead.  1. Picking the Perfect Race  The perfect race doesn’t exist. Instead, choose one that:  ✅ Excites you  ✅ Fits your budget & schedule  ✅ Works for your location  2. Finding the Perfect Training Plan  There’s no one-size-fits-all plan—life happens, and you’ll need to adapt. Instead of chasing perfection:  ✅ Start with what has worked for you in past training  ✅ Track your progress (TrainingPeaks, notebook, spreadsheet)  ✅ Focus on **consistency** and **adjusting as needed**  3. Buying Expensive Gear Right Away  You don’t need to break the bank! Start with what you have and add essentials as you go:  👟 New shoes (when needed)  🎒 Hydration pack  🧥 Weather-appropriate layers  ⌚️ Watch with extra features (only if necessary)  🔥 30-Day Shakedown Challenge is going strong with 50+ participants!  🚪 She Runs Ultras Membership reopens in May with big updates!  🛍️ She Runs Ultras Store is launching! Pre-orders for coffee mugs & t-shirts start next week—watch your inbox & social media! 🏃🏻‍♀️GET MY FREE 8-WEEK BASE BUILDING TRAINING PLAN🔥 APPLY FOR MY GROUP COACHING PROGRAM📈 BOOK A TRAINING PLAN TRIAGE➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP📸  FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM
