Balancing Running and Recovery, Pivoting in Your Training, and Nailing Your Ultra, with Jen Higgins
Training for an ultra requires more than just logging miles and completing workouts; it also requires recovering well, so you can perform your best. It requires you to pivot the plan when things arise in life to make sure you’re still reaching your goals. And it requires you to be intentional in the way you approach your training and races.
That’s what Jen Higgins did when she set out to run her first 50 Miler and 100K this past year. And all of these things allowed her to be the first place finisher at both of those races!
Jen Higgins is a mother, a mental health professional, and ultrarunner who has completed the 100K, 50 miler, and 50K distances
In this episode, Jen shares how she was able to optimize her training and recovery to perform well in her first 50+ mile races, how she pivoted her training when life got crazy, and how she approached her races to get the best results she could get.
Huge thank you to Jen for coming on the show!

Jeff Browning on Mental Strategies for Ultrarunning, How to Never Quit, and How to Run an Efficient Race
Jeff Browning is one of the greatest ultrarunners of our generation. Winning over two dozen 100-mile races, being on the podium of some of the hardest ultras, and most recently, securing an FKT on the Colorado Trail, Jeff has immense experience in the sport of ultrarunning.
Some of the biggest keys to his success comes from his mindset and how he mentally approaches ultras. And his approach isn’t woo-woo; it’s backed by neuroscience and psychology, which speaks to why Jeff is able to keep performing at a high level throughout his career.
On top of that, logistics play a huge role in ultrarunning. When it comes to pacers, crew, and time at aid stations, optimizing those things also can be a difference between a longer finish time and a PR. And Jeff has fine-tuned his logistical strategy to be top-notch over the years.
In this episode, Jeff shares practical tips on how to deploy proven and powerful mental strategies in an ultra, how to rewire your brain to not DNF in an ultra (even if you have before), and how to save tons of time in your ultras by mastering the logistics.
Huge thank you to Jeff for coming on the show!
