7 June 2026, 12:00 pm - 1 hour 3 minutesPeak Training for Ultrarunning: How to Nail It and Avoid Costly Mistakes
Peak training is where ultramarathon dreams are either reinforced—or quietly sabotaged.
Most runners think peak weeks are simply about logging the biggest mileage of their training cycle. But the athletes who arrive at race day strong understand that these weeks are about much more than volume. Learning how to handle fatigue, testing race-day decisions before they matter, and balancing the fine line between building fitness and digging a hole too deep to climb out of.
In this episode you will learn how to maximize the benefits of your highest-volume weeks, avoid common traps that derail runners late in a training cycle, and use peak training to gain confidence heading into race day.
You'll also discover:
-Why peak weeks are about far more than just accumulating miles
-The hidden purpose behind your longest runs and biggest training blocks
-A simple mindset shift that can transform how you approach race preparation
-The costly mistake that ruined an otherwise excellent training cycle
-The often-overlooked recovery factors that can make or break peak training
-Key warning signs your body may be giving you during high-volume training
-How to balance training stress without sacrificing long-term progress
-The surprising role that sleep, fueling, and strength work play when mileage is highest
Learn how to turn peak training into a powerful advantage—and arrive at race day healthy, confident, and ready to perform.

In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, Lila shares her unconventional path into ultrarunning, why she skipped the traditional collegiate running route, and what she learned from taking on her first 250-mile race at Cocodona.

This conversation is packed with insights that can help you become a stronger and more resilient ultrarunner.
In this episode, you'll learn:

1 June 2026, 1:37 am - 57 minutes 59 secondsGlute Pain, Sciatica, Hamstring Issues, and Hip Impingements for Ultrarunners with Kameron Harder
Glute pain, sciatica, hamstring issues, and hip impingements can be some of the most confusing — and frustrating — injuries runners deal with. Because when pain shows up in the glute, hip, hamstring, or low back, the actual cause isn’t always where you feel it.
In this episode, I’m joined again by physical therapist and strength coach Kameron Harder to continue our injury prevention and rehab series for runners.
This time, we break down some of the trickiest problem areas in the posterior chain and hips — including why glute pain might actually be coming from your low back, how sciatica really works, why hamstring tightness is often a strength issue, and what runners need to know about hip impingements.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why glute pain is often misdiagnosed
- How low back and SI joint issues can refer pain into the glute
- The difference between true sciatica and general nerve-related pain
- What to do for hamstring tightness and hamstring injuries
- Why stretching isn’t always the answer for hamstring pain
- The best strength exercises for healthier glutes and hamstrings
- How range of motion, control, and strength all play a role in injury prevention
- Why heavy strength training matters for building more resilient runners

30 May 2026, 1:19 am - 1 hour 1 minuteThe 3 Types of Speed Work Every Ultrarunner Should Do
Speed work can be one of the biggest game-changers in ultramarathon training — but only if you know how to use it the right way.
In this episode, I break down the three key types of speed work that every ultrarunner should understand: VO2 max workouts, lactate threshold workouts, and steady state workouts.
You’ll learn what each workout actually does, how they’re different from each other, when to use them in your training, and how to structure them so you can build more fitness without blowing yourself up.
I also explain why speed work matters for ultrarunners, even if most of your race is done at an easy effort, and how these workouts can help you raise your fitness ceiling, improve your ability to sustain faster paces, and become stronger and more durable on race day.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why running easy all the time can eventually lead to a fitness plateau
- How VO2 max work helps raise your overall fitness ceiling
- Why lactate threshold workouts help you run faster for longer
- How steady state workouts build aerobic strength and durability
- When to use each type of speed workout in your training block
- Example workouts you can steal and use in your own training
- How to safely introduce speed work without increasing injury risk
- Why uphill speed work can be a cheat code for ultrarunners

30 May 2026, 1:17 am - 1 hour 25 minutesWestern States 100 Training Camp: What I Learned 30 Days Before Race Day
Training camps can be one of the most valuable tools in ultramarathon training — especially when you know how to use them the right way.
In this episode, I recap my 3-day, 71-mile Western States 100 training camp and break down the biggest lessons I learned from running the course less than a month out from race day.
I cover why training camps are so useful, how to structure one for your own race, what I learned about the Western States course, how I’m adjusting my race strategy, and the key takeaways around pacing, heat management, downhill durability, hydration, nutrition, and mental approach.
This episode is not just a Western States recap. It’s a guide for how to use any training camp as a dress rehearsal so you can show up to your next ultra more prepared, more confident, and more ready to execute.

30 May 2026, 1:15 am - 1 hour 13 minutesThe Double Boston Marathon: Running Two Boston Marathons in One Day
What happens when ultra runners bring an ultra mindset to one of the most iconic marathons in the world?
In this episode we discuss taking on the “Double Boston” — running from the finish line to the start line of the Boston Marathon before turning around and running the official marathon itself.
You’ll hear how different athletes approached the same challenge in completely different ways: chasing joy instead of pace goals, learning to stay present instead of obsessing over performance, and discovering how community can completely transform the race experience. From first-time Boston emotions to decades of marathon wisdom, this episode is packed with lessons every ultra runner can apply to training, racing, and life.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How focusing less on performance may lead to your most meaningful race experience
- The strategies that helped runners tackle 52 miles in one day
- What road runners can learn from ultra runners about resilience, patience, and community
- The mindset shift that can make hard races feel more joyful

23 May 2026, 2:22 pm - 2 hours 14 minutesFrom Injury to a 10 Hour PR at Cocodona: Randi Zuckerberg’s Second Cocodona 250
What does it take to go back to one of the hardest 200+ mile races in the world and run it 10 hours faster?
In this episode, Randi Zuckerberg returns to the Everyday Ultra Podcast after finishing Cocodona 250 for the second time, and this time, she didn’t just finish—she leveled up in every way.
After dealing with injury, rebuilding her body through strength training and swimming, setting an FKT on the Baja Sur Traverse, and coming back to Cocodona with unfinished business, Randi shares the full story of what it took to chase mastery over 250 miles.
But this episode is about more than a race recap. It’s about what happens when you stop asking, “Can I do this?” and start asking, “How good can I become?”
In this episode, Randi shares:
- How she took 10 hours off her Cocodona 250 time
- Why her second finish was even more transformational than her first
- How she rebuilt after injury and came back stronger
- The mindset shift from simply surviving a race to pursuing mastery
- How crew, pacers, and team energy can completely change a 200-mile race
- Why sleep deprivation, aid station efficiency, and problem-solving matter so much in 200s
- How to keep moving when your feet are wrecked, your mind is dark, and quitting feels tempting
- The deeper life lessons ultrarunning teaches about belief, resilience, and transformation
