Balancing Running and Recovery, Pivoting in Your Training, and Nailing Your Ultra, with Jen Higgins

Training for an ultra requires more than just logging miles and completing workouts; it also requires recovering well, so you can perform your best. It requires you to pivot the plan when things arise in life to make sure you’re still reaching your goals. And it requires you to be intentional in the way you approach your training and races.

That’s what Jen Higgins did when she set out to run her first 50 Miler and 100K this past year. And all of these things allowed her to be the first place finisher at both of those races!

Jen Higgins is a mother, a mental health professional, and ultrarunner who has completed the 100K, 50 miler, and 50K distances

In this episode, Jen shares how she was able to optimize her training and recovery to perform well in her first 50+ mile races, how she pivoted her training when life got crazy, and how she approached her races to get the best results she could get.

Huge thank you to Jen for coming on the show!
