The Ultrarunning Mindset Shifts to Make to Crush Your Races with Krissy Mae Harcelrode

If you’ve ever looked at a seemingly impossible goal and thought, “There’s no way I can do that,” Krissy Mae Harclerode’s story will flip that belief on its head.

So, What does it take to turn pain into power and chase down massive goals like a 200-mile ultra?

In this episode, Joe sits down with Krissy Mae Harclerode, an athlete, coach, and business owner whose journey from addiction and recovery to podium finishes, FKTs, and now the Mammoth 200, is extraordinary.

Listeners will learn:

How Krissy’s recovery and sobriety forged the resilience she brings into ultras, mountaineering, and life.
Why she believes anyone can tackle big goals by flipping the mindset from “I can’t” to “How hard can it be?”
Her strategies for building consistency, adapting when life throws curveballs, and finding joy in the process—not just the finish line.
The importance of pivoting when a goal no longer brings fulfillment and leaning into what excites you.

Krissy Mae Harclerode is an ultrarunner, mountaineer, and founder of Black Iron Nutrition. After overcoming more than a decade of addiction, she rebuilt her life through strength training, outdoor adventures, and endurance sports.

Today she inspires thousands by sharing her training, her FKTs in the Sierras, and her raw story of resilience while coaching athletes to unlock their potential.

Huge thank you to Krissy for coming on the show!
