Before You Toe the Line: 3 Keys to Your Backyard Ultra Success
Backyard ultras aren’t hard because they’re long. They’re hard because they expose what you didn’t prepare for.
This free workshop is designed to help you understand what actually matters before you start training so you’re not guessing on pacing, fueling, or mindset when it counts.

Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is for you if:
• You’re curious about running a backyard ultra (now or in the future)
• You don’t want to wing pacing, fueling, or night strategy
• You've ran backyard ultras before but you're looking for your breakthrough performance
• You value sustainable training over “see how far I can suffer”
This workshop is not for you if:
• You want a cookie‑cutter plan. AI and generic plans tend to overestimate what runners need to do to ‘be ready.
• You believe more mileage always equals better results. More volume feels productive until it creates fatigue, burnout, or injury.
• You’re looking for shortcuts instead of strategy. Preparation creates your shortcuts.
