087: Process Goals, Race Nutrition & The Off-Season Mindset | Coaches’ Corner

Welcome to The Tribe of Runners Podcast! This a new episode I think we are calling Coaches Corner, where Liz Myers (thats me) and Christie Brinker sit down to talk all things ultra running. Chatting about things from training and mindset to racing trends and recovery.

In this episode, we dive into the lessons and takeaways from Christie's recent 100-mile race - Rim to River 100 Miler, unpacking what it means to focus on process goals over time goals and how that shift can transform your running experience.

The conversation covers everything from nutrition and hydration strategies to caffeine management, solid foods during long races, and the often-overlooked transition periods after big efforts. We also explore what an off season really means for runners and how to stay consistent during winter... yes, that means using treadmills.

Whether you’re chasing your first ultra or refining your training as a seasoned runner, this Coaches’ Corner is packed with insight, honesty, and practical tips to help you run smarter and recover stronger.

Tune in for real talk from two coaches who live and breathe the ultra life. Growth doesn’t just happen on race day.
