Ashley Paulson | Badwater, Motherhood And The Mindset To Keep Going #101

Ashley Paulson joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about extreme endurance, motherhood, and what it really takes to keep showing up when the miles get hard. Ashley shares how teaching fitness classes after having twins helped build the base that later carried her into marathons, Ironman racing, ultra running, Badwater 135, and a 100-mile treadmill world record.

Together, they talk about choosing hard things on purpose, redefining success beyond winning, keeping joy in professional sport, racing as a mother of four, preparing for Death Valley heat, why sleep is her non-negotiable recovery tool, and how women can learn to listen to their bodies through training, hormones, and perimenopause. Ashley also opens up about public scrutiny, the support of her husband and family, and the emotional final hour of running 100 miles in front of a crowd.
