Most runners don’t quit because training is hard.They quit because training takes over their life.In this episode, I break down how you can train for big goals — marathons, ultras, Ironman, you name it — without burning out, ruining relationships, or constantly feeling behind.This is the exact framework I use in my own training and with athletes who have full-time jobs, families, and real responsibilities — not just unlimited free time.We talk about:Why the “Ironman Widow” mindset is broken — and what to do insteadHow to actually prioritize training without sacrificing sleep, family, or your careerThe simple planning framework that makes training fit into your life (not the other way around)Why consistency isn’t about doing everything — and how breaking promises to yourself kills confidenceHow to navigate busy seasons, unexpected curveballs, and life chaos without derailing your fitnessWhy fulfillment matters more than balance — and how that makes you a better runner long-termIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to “do it all,” this episode will give you clarity, permission, and a better way forward.Because the goal isn’t just to finish strong on race day —it’s to build a life that actually supports the runner you want to be.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?
