Running uphill is one of those things that can seem really tricky: you breathe harder, it takes more out of your legs, and sometimes, it forces you to hike.

Just like anything else, you can TRAIN to be a better uphill athlete. BUT, there are a lot of mistakes that people make when they are training to be a better uphill runner that hold them back from really improving their climbing.

In this episode, I share all of the tried and true ways you can be a better uphill runner, as well as how to avoid the common mistakes people make when running uphill, so you can avoid them.

Also, I touch on how you can train for uphills, even if you live in a flatter area with no incline.

Thank you so much for listening to the podcast!

Running can be so much more than running. It can be a solace to heal, to get better, and to find peace. For Ali To, who has conquered multiple races, including a 200+ mile ultra marathon, this is one of the many reasons why she runs. 

Ali To is an ultrarunner, content creator, and business owner who has completed multiple ultras and shares her journey of how she transformed her own mental health through ultrarunning.

In this episode, Ali shared her incredible journey of personal transformation and her battles with depression, anxiety, and overcoming low points in her life all through ultrarunning. We delved into how she turned her first DNF into a stepping stone towards becoming a successful ultra runner. 

Ali also talks about how she uses ultrarunning as a vehicle for introspection and self-improvement in her life.

We also discussed her rigorous training regimen for upcoming 4, 100 mile races all within 4 months and how she never backs down when life throws a failure her way.

Ahhh the taper: one of the most questioned and untrusted aspects of training. I get it; you’re training way less in a taper. So, it would make sense to worry about if you’re doing it “right” to not risk losing all that hard built fitness you’ve earned.

Here’s the thing: when you do the taper right, you give yourself a better chance of increasing performance on race day, with doing less work, and without the losing the fitness. Sounds too good to be true, but hey, it is!

The key though is that you do the taper CORRECTLY. And in this episode, we break down everything you need backed by the studies to best structure your taper.

We cover how long your taper should be, how to not lose fitness in a taper, and how to maximize your taper so that you get the best recovery on race day.

Thank you so much for listening to the episode!

Let’s face it: if you’re running an ultra, you will hit low points and get uncomfortable. Resistance will arise physically, mentally, and emotionally, all inevitably in the thick of your next ultramarathon. 

So, your ability to push through discomfort and challenges during the midst of an ultramarathon will be a key factor to whether you hit your ultra goals, finish the race, and keep moving forward.

And after interviewing hundreds of the best ultrarunners, along with taking away key moments from my ulrarunning career, I’ve found some of the most effective tools to help you push through the moments of discomfort and challenges in the middle of a race, so you can hit your biggest goals.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to know when to keep pushing and when to stop in the moments of pain, how you can take control of your mind to push through any discomfort, and how to change your relationship with pain so it can be your ally.

Huge thank you for listening to the show!

To put my training for the Cocodona 250 miler to the test, I ran 100 miles in three days on the Cocodona course as a part of a self-designed training camp. Why? To see my strengths and weaknesses with my current training and to gain confidence for race day!

Training camps are an excellent way to assess your readiness for your next ultra. And in this episode, I show you how I designed this camp so you can design your own.

I also share my biggest takeaways and lessons from the camp, crazy stories from the camp itself, and training principles that helped me have a very successful training camp (without feeling any soreness or over fatigue after the huge weekend!).

Thank you so much for listening to the podcast!
