In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, Joe breaks down the exact process for building a powerful and smart race schedule.

From A-races to tune-up events, he shares the key principles that will help you avoid common mistakes, set meaningful goals, and create a lineup of races that keeps you motivated, consistent, and ready to perform at your best.

Whether you’re chasing your first ultra or looking to maximize a season of big goals, this episode will give you the framework to plan smarter, not harder .

What you'll learn in this episode:

The three core principles every runner should follow when picking races
How to think about A, B, and C races (and why timing matters more than you think)
The biggest scheduling mistakes runners make—and how to avoid them
How to use intentions to guide your race choices and stay aligned with long-term goals
Why the type of race you choose (flat vs mountain, short vs long) can set you up for success—or struggle
Smart ways to fit in tune-up races without derailing your training
The truth about off-seasons—when to take one, when to skip it, and how to know the difference
