Episode 9: Behind the Scenes of Lara's Ultra Coaching Call

Episode 9: Behind the Scenes of Lara's Ultra Coaching Call

Lara has a background in adventure racing and 24-hour team mountain biking. She also loves the trails, so splits and finish times aren't usually that important.

Lara decided to cut through the noise and join Team Strength Running where she could follow proven training programs, have a team to support her, and get all of her questions answered by a running coach.

She recognized that runners sometimes need a little extra nudge to accomplish a challenging goal:

One night I read an article about habit-making and how one's intrinsic motivation is finite. That's why it's so important to have an external motivator to form good habits.

My lightbulb went on and I joined Team SR that evening. If I was going to take my training seriously, I had to realize that I AM an athlete and there will be days where my intrinsic motivation won't be enough and that's when I can rely on my team.

Lara had been making steady progress when she suddenly faced an enormous setback: Three months before her 50k she tore a ligament in her ankle and was unable to run.

She was devastated. Her doctor didn't think she would be able to race, but Lara remained positive and with focused physical therapy and smart adjustments to her training, she got healthy and fit enough to run her race.

Lara's perseverance paid off, and against challenging odds she was able to make it to the starting line healthy. In this call, we dive deeper into her bacckground and training history to help her continue to improve.
