A lot of runners (especially first-time 50k runners) feel like they need to run the full race distance before race day just to prove they can do it.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why I don’t recommend that approach… but also sharing how I’d coach someone through it if they were absolutely dead set on doing it anyway 🙃

We’re talking about:

  • why timing matters more than you think
  • the difference between a race simulation and an actual race
  • how to avoid turning one long run into a recovery disaster
  • why “harder” isn’t always smarter
  • and why leaving a little mystery for race day might actually help you perform better

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I just need to know I can do it…” this episode is for you.
