In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between speed and effort—and why focusing on effort can be a game-changer for trail and ultra runners. If you’ve ever stressed about race cutoffs or felt stuck trying to “get faster,” this one’s for you.
We’ll talk about why traditional road running concepts like pace don’t translate well to trails and introduce the RPE scale (Rate of Perceived Exertion) as a smarter way to train. Learn how effort-based workouts can help you improve endurance, delay fatigue, and finish your races stronger—without constantly staring at your watch.
Whether you’re new to ultras or just looking for fresh training strategies, this episode will help you rethink your approach to speed and build confidence on the trails.
