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 misdiagnosedHow low back and SI joint issues can refer pain into the gluteThe difference between true sciatica and general nerve-related painWhat to do for hamstring tightness and hamstring injuriesWhy stretching isn't always the answer for hamstring painThe best strength exercises for healthier glutes and hamstringsHow range of motion, control, and strength all play a role in injury preventionWhy heavy strength training matters for building more resilient runnersSHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

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 plateauHow VO2 max work helps raise your overall fitness ceilingWhy lactate threshold workouts help you run faster for longerHow steady state workouts build aerobic strength and durabilityWhen to use each type of speed workout in your training blockExample workouts you can steal and use in your own trainingHow to safely introduce speed work without increasing injury riskWhy uphill speed work can be a cheat code for ultrarunnersSHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

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.SHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

In this episode, you'll learn:How to know if your ultra goal actually fits your current life scheduleWhy “just making time” for training can backfire if you ignore recoveryThe biggest mistake runners make when trying to balance work, chores, and big mileageHow to troubleshoot race-day GI problems before they spiralWhy hydration and sodium may be the hidden cause of your stomach issuesWhether the 10% mileage rule is actually useful — or completely overratedHow to increase mileage based on your body instead of a generic ruleA simple way to plan long runs when your training is based on timeWhy the sauna can be a powerful tool — and when it can become too muchHow to use heat training without wrecking the rest of your running weekSHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

Cocodona 250 delivered some of the most inspiring performances in ultrarunning — and inside those performances are lessons every ultrarunner can use, whether you're chasing a podium, a PR, or simply trying to reach the finish line.In this episode, I break down the biggest takeaways from this year's Cocodona 250, including what Rachel Entrekin's historic overall win and Kilian Korth's men's course record can teach us about belief, preparation, execution, and resilience in long ultras.Because in races this long, fitness matters — but it's not the only thing that determines your result. Your mindset, aid station strategy, fueling plan, decision-making, and ability to problem-solve when everything goes wrong can be the difference between a breakthrough and a DNF.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “unreasonable” goals might be the exact thing that help you level upHow to pair big belief with the actions required to actually make it realThe two biggest keys to faster, more efficient aid stationsWhy sometimes a calculated risk can save your entire raceHow to know when to fix a problem immediately versus keep movingWhy you don't have to eat real food in long ultras if your fueling plan worksHow good weather can trick you into making bad race-day decisionsWhy a bad stretch early in a 100- or 200-mile race does not mean your race is overThis one is for any ultrarunner who wants to race smarter, believe bigger, and become harder to break when things get tough.SHOW LINKS:Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?
