Want to set a new PR in your next ultra?
Whether you're chasing a faster finish, tackling a new distance, or returning to a race with unfinished business, this episode breaks down the key ingredients that separate breakthrough performances from missed opportunities.
Today we are joined by Everyday Ultra coaches Angela and Laura to share the lessons they've learned from their own racing and coaching experience. Together, they dive into the training, execution, mindset, and race-day decisions that can make the biggest difference when you're aiming for your best performance—while sharing practical takeaways you can immediately apply to your own running.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• The biggest mistakes that quietly hold runners back from PRs
• Which areas of training deserve the most attention—and which are often overlooked
• How to identify your biggest performance limiter
• The race-day decisions that can save (or cost) you valuable time
• Why execution matters just as much as fitness
• Simple mindset strategies that help you keep moving when things get tough
• Practical tips you can use in your very next training block or race
If you're serious about becoming a stronger, smarter ultrarunner, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
