Prescription Shoes, Brutal Blisters
Injury recovery is never simple: prescription shoes may protect the ankle, but the blisters are brutal. #RunningInjury UltramarathonTraining Blisters AnkleRecovery RunnerLife
Touch and Go Before Race Day
With race day only weeks away, protecting the ankle means swapping running for biking and accepting that the 100-miler is suddenly uncertain. #100Miler RunningInjury Ultrarunning RacePrep EnduranceTraining

Why High-Calorie Food Matters
Fueling huge endurance sessions is not about perfection. Sometimes it is about getting enough calories in, even if that means donuts. #RunningFuel EnduranceNutrition UltramarathonTraining SportsNutrition RunnerFood
Choosing Courage Over Comfort
Mental preparation is not just for race day. Sometimes it means choosing the uncomfortable thing because comfort would feel like regret. #Mindset CourageOverComfort FemaleAthlete PersonalGrowth EnduranceMindset
Why Women Excel at Ultra Distances
Science is digging into why women can be so strong at ultra-endurance distances, and why the performance gap narrows when races get extremely long. #WomenInSport UltraEndurance SportsScience FemalePerformance Ultrarunning
Strength Work for Ultra Resilience
Ultra training is not only miles. Core, stabilizers, and calf work can be key to keeping the body durable enough for race day. #StrengthTraining Ultrarunning InjuryPrevention RunnerStrength 100MileTraining
The Event Almost Made Her Cry
The nerves were worth it. Hearing what this research meant to people in the room turned the whole event into an emotional moment. #WomenInSport SportsScience FemaleAthlete EnduranceCommunity EmotionalMoment
Testing Day at UBC
Time for lab testing at the University of British Columbia: lactate threshold, VO2 max, and the very important goal of beating her brother. #VO2Max LactateThreshold SportsScience EnduranceTesting Ultrarunning
Under-Fueling Can Wreck Workouts
If workouts keep falling apart, the problem might not be fitness. It might be under-fueling, especially low carb availability. #EnduranceNutrition SportsScience RunningFuel TrainingTips Ultramarathon
Easy Runs Must Stay Easy
For ultra training, easy runs need to actually be easy. Turning every session into a threshold workout can sabotage the bigger goal. #EasyRuns Zone2Training UltramarathonTraining RunningTips EnduranceScience
Fundraising for Endometriosis Research
The race challenge is about more than endurance. It is also helping raise funds for endometriosis research, with a big campaign goal still ahead. #EndometriosisAwareness Fundraising 100MileChallenge WomenHealth Ultrarunning
