    105: How to Crew & Pace an Ultra Marathon. The Complete Guide for Runners, Crew & Pacers

    Most runners don’t fail on race day because of fitness… they fail because of poor execution. And more often than not, it comes down to one thing:crewing and pacing. In this solo episode, I break down the real role of crew and pacers. Diving into the difference between barely surviving a race and actually executing it. From choosing the right crew chief to understanding when to push or hold back, this episode dives into the details most runners overlook: The difference between crewing vs pacing (and why it matters)How to organize your crew so race day isn’t chaosWhat your crew should actually be doing at aid stationsHow pacers can keep you moving (without ruining your race)The subtle signals runners give when things are going wrongWhy emotional control from your crew can make or break your race This episode is for: Runners preparing for their first (or next) ultraCrew members who want to actually be helpfulPacers who want to show up the right wayBecause here’s the truth:No one finishes an ultra alone! Even if they cross the line by themselves. If you want a race-day plan that actually works, this is a must-listen.

    103: No Crew, No Help. The Reality of Unsupported FKTs with Cody Taylor

    In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I sit down with ultra endurance athlete Cody Taylor to talk about a side of the sport most people don’t fully understand... Unsupported FKTs. We’re talking about taking on massive efforts completely alone… No crew. No pacers. No outside help. Cody shares what it actually looks like to cover hundreds of miles and tens of thousands of feet of elevation while carrying everything you need on your back. From gear failures and injuries to hallucinations and the mental battle that comes with being out there alone, this conversation gets into the raw reality behind these efforts. We talk about: What unsupported FKTs really demands both physically and mentallyLearning to respect terrain, distance, and conditionsThe shift from confidence to experienceHow these kinds of challenges change how you see yourself and your limitsBalancing big goals with life, work, and familyThis isn’t just about running. It’s about what happens when you strip everything away and see what you’re capable of. If you’ve ever been curious about pushing your limits or stepping into something that feels way bigger than you... Like an unsupported FKT… this one will make you think differently.

    101: Exploring Free Will with Kilian Korth and Christie Brinker

    In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, we’re stepping outside of running for a second and getting into something deeper. I’m joined with co-host Christie and Killian for a conversation around free will, choice, and how much of our lives are actually in our control. What if you’re not as in control as you think you are? We dive into the science, the philosophy, and our own experiences that have made us question what it really means to “choose” anything. We talk about how your thoughts, reactions, and decisions might be shaped more by your environment, genetics, and past experiences than you realize. We also talk about what that means for how you may view success, failure, and even suffering. This conversation goes into: Whether free will is real… or just something we believe to feel in controlHow mindset, meditation, and awareness can shift your experienceWhy letting go of control can actually bring more peaceHow this way of thinking impacts running, performance, and lifeThis one isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions. If you’ve ever struggled with pressure, expectations, or trying to control everything in your life, this episode might shift how you see it all.

    100: The Comeback I Didn't Expect

    WELCOME BACK! Lets just say... I took some time. In this solo episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I open up about the reality behind stepping away from running, from social media, and from the constant pressure to keep showing up when life feels overwhelming. After a season of injury, burnout, and personal challenges, I was over it all. I share what it looked like to take a much-needed break and why this “comeback” isn’t the one I originally envisioned. Instead of a return marked by kick ass race, this is a comeback rooted in rebuilding. To rebuild mentally, emotionally, and as a human first and then diving back into all things I love so much. I talk about the importance of protecting your mental health, learning to control what you can control, and navigating the balance between life, business, and passion. Also, reflecting on the lessons learned during this time away and what it meant for me to rediscover joy in running without pressure and/or expectation. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and a reminder that growth doesn’t always look the way we planned. Sometimes is a crazy spiral and you lose your shit... but it’s often exactly what we need.

    098: The Mindset You NEED for Ultra Running | Growth vs Fixed, Mental Toughness & Belief

    In this special Coaches Corner episode on the Tribe of Runners podcast, Liz Myers is joined by fellow coach Christie Brinker for an honest, practical conversation about mindset and ultra running. Together, we break down why mental strength often matters more than physical fitness once things get hard. We explore the difference between growth and fixed mindsets, the role of delusional self-belief in pushing beyond perceived limits, and how affirmations and mantras can help runners stay grounded when pain shows up. Discussing the reality that pain is inevitable in ultras, but suffering is often a choice shaped by mindset and presence. The episode also touches on treadmill training as a mental tool, the importance of accountability in coaching, and how to set goals that challenge athletes without setting them up for burnout. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on why mindset has become such a powerful (and sometimes misunderstood) topic in the running space. This Coaches Corner episode is for runners who want to better understand their mind, train with intention, and show up stronger when it matters most.
