Tips on how to be a better endurance athlete, every day, directly from the world's best runners! Whether you participate in endurance races as a hobby, or you're a competitive ultra-endurance athlete, this podcast will help you achieve your goals when it comes to racing, training, and recovery. The show is hosted by Ultra-Endurance athlete, Joe Corcione, who has competed in Ultramarathons, Ultratriathlons, and Ironman races.
Is it possible to run an ultramarathon with no prior background as a runner? Absolutely.
And our guest today proves that - as she went from no running or endurance background and 100+ pounds obese to finishing multiple 50Ks in the top 10, completing the Leadville 100M Mountain Bike Race, and finishing her first 50 miler recently!
You’ll hear from Christie Brinker on how she was able to transform her life through running, and what were the biggest keys to her success to go from non-runner to runner, while continuing to stay on the path consistently throughout her life.
We chat about the most important mindset to have when training for an ultra, what key training strategies that are needed to make massive progress, misconceptions about training that people should avoid, and how to put together a plan that gets you ready for an ultramarathon.
Christie is also a coach here at Everyday Ultra and is a UESCA Certified Ultrarunning coach who is committed to helping athletes crush their ultramarathon goals.
Huge thank you to Christie for coming on the show!

What does it take to have an amazing race in a type of terrain that is a different style from what you’re normally used to?
For Jeff Mogavero, an accomplished mountain ultrarunner for On Running, he looked to answer that question by racing in the Javelina Jundred 100 miler, just months after completing UTMB.
And even though the flatter course was relatively unique territory for Jeff based on his past races, he was able to finish second place and win a Golden Ticket to Western States 100!
How did he do it? In this episode he shares his training, race strategy, hydration strategy, and mindset that all led to his special day in the desert.
We cover things such as:
How to go from mountain training to flat training
Optimizing mindset both in training and in the race
How to nail hydration (even if it has been a struggle point in the past)
How to execute a plan in a race, even when the conditions are tough
How to enjoy the process amidst hard training
Huge thank you to Jeff for coming on the show!

We did it! At Javelina Jundred, I ran a 15:28 100-mile time with a negative split and came in 10th place male.
And I can now say that I got redemption after last year’s race that didn’t go well.
This podcast breaks down my training for the race, what it takes to improve on mistakes, how to train intently to get a PR at an ultramarathon distance, and how to overcome mental low points to turn a bad situation into your greatest triumph.
The point of this podcast isn’t just to recap the race; I put this out to inspire you to never give up on your big goals. Even when you fail along the way.
This result was years in the making, and I faced a lot of obstacles, self-doubt, and challenges along the way. But know that even if you face the same, you can overcome those things to run YOUR best race ever, get redemption, and feel fully fulfilled by the result you put out there.
Plus, we cover all of your questions on heat acclimation, nutrition and hydration, pacing, mindset, gear, and more!
Thank you so much for listening and for all of your support!

Yoda was wrong! The dark side is a tool that you can use to push through the lowest points in your ultramarathon to give you the strength you need.
What is the dark side exactly? It's more than just a Star Wars reference; it's a mindset.
And we've all felt it at some point in our lives.
So, we have the tools to use it. And when you're able to use it properly, you can get through any difficult challenges in your ultras, so you can finish strong.
This episode is SPICY, so just a heads up!

Success leaves clues. And the same goes for ultrarunning.
So, when you look at some of the best ultrarunners in the world like Courtney Dauwalter, Adam Peterman, Sarah Ostaszewski, and others, there are patterns that each of them do commonly to lead to massive success.
And we can take those principles and lessons and apply them into our own training. Even if you are in the back of the pack!
In this episode, we share tips on training, mindset, race strategy, and more, all from elite ultrarunning athletes.
This was taken from a group coaching call that we did for our Everyday Ultra Racing Team athletes that we coach.
Thank you for listening!

You can be the fittest runner in the world; but if you don't BELIEVE that you can actually accomplish your running goals, then the fitness won't pay off.
And it goes way more than just saying you believe - you have to really feel it internally. And there's a process you have to go through to do that.
In this episode, I share exactly how to do that and how to build belief, confidence, and strength to accomplish anything you want to in the ultrarunning world.
This is a reposted episode from the Real Wellness Podcast, which I am grateful for them for having me on!
