In this episode of Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast, we talk about what has been going on for each of us in terms of life and running, etc. Christina discusses her knee injury and vlog, Angela updates us on her training, new coaching gig, and desire for a massage, and Melissa describes her recent adventures getting lost in the Never Summer Mountains, twice.
In this episode of Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast, Melissa recaps her recent run at the North Fork 50. Hear all about how Melissa’s first more “mountainous” 50 miler went, whether or not she threw up, and how Coors Lite might become a new fixture in her race nutrition plan.
You can also read her race report here, and how training went here.
Melissa wants to thank everybody for all the good vibes and positive thoughts– she felt it all!
In this episode of Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast, Christina shares the details of her race at Miwok 100K. In short, there was vertical, more vertical, beautiful trails, some weather, and a seriously awesome goody bag. We predict that after listening to this episode, you’ll be putting your name in the hat for Miwok next year.
In this episode of Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast, join us for a Monday Rant about pre-race anxiety. We talk about the difficulty of remembering why we signed up for the race in the first place once the big day draws near.
Everybody, please send Christina your very best wishes for Miwok 100K this weekend! It’s going to be great!!
Altras, Salomons, Brooks, Skechers, and Hokas, oh my. Join us this week as we talk about shoes we’ve worn and loved (or not) on the trails. Angela updates us on her recent run on the North Fork 50 course, and Melissa issues a plea for advice on trail running shoes with aggressive outsoles.
It has been a while. The past several weeks we have been busy tending to tonsillitis, tax season, teaching loads, and … training for ultras (not to mention, living in different time zones)! We’ve reconvened to bring you Episode 13– another race recap show. This past weekend, Angela became a Desert Rat, and Christina settled a score at Leona Divide.
In this episode of Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast, we’ve got Christina’s race recap from her spur of the moment 50K, and Melissa’s recap from her “heavy half” in Monument Valley. Join us for a tale of two races!
In this episode of Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast, we have Angela’s recap from Sufferfest Weekend. Contrary to its ominous name, the Sufferfest turned out to be fun! Listen to Angela talk about conquering her fears, meeting great new friends, learning some new trails, and in general, fully immersing herself in the ultra life (and loving it). Thanks for sharing your experience, Angela! I think all the UOR listeners are going to want to head out to Fruita next year for the Sufferfest.
This episode of Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast is all about confidence issues we may experience with our running. For some of us, it can be hard to feel good about our own efforts when others are posting or talking about their high mileage, pace, and vert for the week. In this episode, we explore how to avoid negativity in comparisons and how we should all remove the words “just” and “only” from our vocabularies.
