Everyday Ultra

We chat with ultra runners Allie Gibbons and Sam Atherton to dive into the key strategies that help endurance athletes stay strong for the long haul.  We talk about recognizing signs of burnout, why blood work is crucial for performance, and how to train smarter to avoid injuries.  Beyond the physical side, we also explore the personal journey of running—setting meaningful goals, building a strong community, and even the adventure of transitioning to van life. Allie and Sam also share their incredible story as a couple in the endurance world, from how they met through running to the dynamics of training together.  We dive into the importance of strength training and mobility, as well as how to balance pushing your limits with proper recovery.  Plus, we discuss what it takes to stay authentic in content creation while navigating the highs and lows of endurance sports—especially during epic challenges like the Speed Project in Chile. This episode is packed with insights to help you train smarter, stay in the sport longer, and find fulfillment in your running journey. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!

I'm racing a 300 mile race this April, which is the inaugural Arizona Monster 300M put on by Destination Trail. Am I crazy? Absolutely. But I'm super stoked. This will be the farthest I've ever ran before in one shot, so I'll have to do things differently in training this time. And in this episode, there are no secrets: I'm breaking down how I am laying out my training, including two HUGE changes I'm making to my 200+ miler training strategy that I believe will help me to win the race. This is an episode for anyone who is looking to run a race that is the farthest they've done yet, as I believe this will help anyone who is doing that. Thank you for listening to the episode!

We’ve all faced that negative voice in our life that tells us we can’t do something, or that we are not enough. And sometimes, it’s caused us to make decisions that don’t support who we want to be, as a runner or a person. But there is a way to be stronger than that negative voice, so that you can ultimately be the runner and person that you want to be, and accomplish all the big goals you set out for yourself. For Sandra Mikulic, this was something she learned by overcoming her own self-doubt through finding consistency, believing in herself, and taking actionable steps to be the best version of herself. And that has allowed her to not only run multiple ultramarathons, marathons, and run a 5K every day since Jan 2019; but it has also allowed her to live a fulfilling life where she truly loves herself. Sandra Mikulic, a passionate Canadian runner and proud mother of four, is the creator of Run Your Life magazine, a publication celebrating athletes of all body types and abilities. Sandra discovered her love for running at the age of 43 in 2018, making the shift from treadmill routines to running outdoors.  On January 1, 2019, she set a personal goal to run or walk 5 kilometers every single day—a commitment she has upheld without fail. Sandra has participated in numerous races, including marathons and ultra-marathons, while using her journey to challenge common perceptions about body image in sports. By openly sharing her experiences and personal challenges, she has cultivated a welcoming and supportive community. Inspired by this connection, Sandra founded Run Your Life magazine to encourage others to embrace movement and foster self-acceptance, no matter their size or fitness level. Prepare to be inspired by this episode. Huge thank you to Sandra for coming on the show!
