It’s prime time for ultra planning! Whether you're researching races, mapping out your year, or tackling a personal SWOT analysis, this episode is packed with valuable advice to help you prepare for your first 50K (or your next one!). I asked the She Runs Ultras crew: "What’s something you wish you knew before your first 50K?" Their answers were fantastic, and I’m sharing them here along with actionable tips to help you succeed. Here’s what we cover: 1. Nutrition: Learn why “eat early, often, and in small doses” is key, and start experimenting with your fueling strategy now. 2. Foot Care: Your feet carry you to the finish line—get tips on proper shoes, socks, and blister prevention. 3. Chafing: A little preparation goes a long way to avoid discomfort on race day. 4. Running in the Dark: Overcome fears and find the right lighting setup to feel confident during night runs. 5. Falling is Normal: Embrace it, get back up, and keep going! Plus, a sneak peek at upcoming episodes on managing the post-race “dip” and navigating recovery.
