How I run 100 miles without getting blisters on my feet Blister issues while running? Maybe try these things that work for me. It took me a couple hundred mile races to figure out how to fully prevent blisters. My feet typically wouldn’t blister during 50 milers, so it wasn’t much of an issue before I began doing longer distances. Over the years, I noticed that my feet were more likely to develop blisters when they were wet for hours due to rain or frequent water crossings. It is more challenging to prevent blisters when this is the situation. This article is about preventing blisters during a dryer weather run... finishstrongermindsetcoachin… There are also ultrarunner tools for finishing your next ultra mentally strong. . . . #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #ultratraining #trailandultra #ultrarunningcommunity #trailrunning

Race Day Visualizations In these Race Day Visualizations, you will visualize a number of mindset and race strategies that you can apply to your race. I understand that everyone’s race plan may look different, so you can use this visualization as a basic guide and form your own, specific to your strategies. Mindset and race strategies might include, but is not limited to: - Start line mindset - Knowing what gear you will be wearing and using - Not going out too fast - Running YOUR race vs another runner’s race - Positive self-talk - Ensuring that you get what you need at aid stations - Asking volunteers for help when you need it... #ultramarathon #ultrarunningcommunity #trailandultra #ultratraining #finishstrongermindsetcoaching finishstrongermindsetcoachin…

It has been a few months since I've introduced myself, so here we go... I'm Shannon, but many people know me as Be Short Run Ultra. I've been running 50 mile ultramarathons since 2016. My focus over the past two years has been getting faster over the 100 mile distance. Currently, I have two 100 milers on my radar for next year. I'm a National Certified Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, specializing in anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders. I started my online private practice back at the end of 2019. About 2 or 3 years ago, I started a mindset and mental wellness coaching service for ultrarunners. I always wanted to combine the two fields. - The two things that I'm passionate about. -- So, welcome to Finish Stronger Mindset and Mental Wellness Coaching! Coaching is non-clinical, but I do bring my expertise and resources. Oftentimes, my clients and I grow together. I LOVE what I do! I am accepting new clients. I am an assistant run coach, working alongside Coach Kyle Kranz. I'm not a certified run coach, but I know a thing or two. Personally, he's been my coach since 2020. Lastly, I'm a mom. My daughter is 6. She is in school in the mornings, so I can get my runs in then. Let me know if you have any questions related to myself, running, mindset, and mental wellness. You can ask below (someone might be wondering the same thing), or private message me. . . . . #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #ultratraining #100miletraining #iloverunning #trailrunning #trailandultra #motherrunner #ultrarunnermentalhealth #ultrarunnersofinstagram #ultrarunningmotivation #runtoinspire #runningtips #runninggoals #ultrarunninggoals #ultrarunnermentaltoughness #ultrarunningcommunity #ultrarunnermindset

Night time at Oil Creek 100 When I was alone, before picking up Traci (friend and pacer 1), I heard coyotes howling and I saw a porcupine up close! I love porcupine. I also heard a lot of owls having a hooting good time. Traci and I saw a HUGE spider, a deer, a demonic goat holding a big dagger, and a ghost. - Only got a picture of the spider. So fun! Dan (also friend and pacer 2) and I heard a large cat. It was probably a bobcat or fisher cat. Terrifying. In years past at this race, I've seen a flying squirrel and I've heard runners have seen bears. I can't forget the year that we heard cows mooing in the woods at night. They escaped a nearby farm, I think. They sounded eerie and we were freaked out. There's so much wildlife in this park, it makes every race more interesting. It is definitely a special event. . . . . #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #oilcreekpa #oilcreekstatepark #oilcreek100 #gerardhikingtrail #runpa #100miler #trailrunninglife #trailrace #trailrunning #trailandultra #trailrunningcommunity #ultrarunningmotivation #ultramarathon #ultrarunningcommunity #ultrarunningmama #motherrunner

Big Client Wins and What it is Like Working with Me Here are some big client wins and things that people are saying about working together from the past few months. I work with runners and ultramarathon runners all over the U.S. on their mindset, mental wellbeing, and race performance. We discuss things going on in their day-to-day lives and the things that they may face during a race. The people I work with are awesome. They: - Try to make changes. - Are willing to learn and try new things (because their old ways of going about things may no longer be serving them). - They put in the effort. About 15 minutes to three hours per week. - They complete resources and worksheets that I send (at least some of it). Go to the article to read the wins and to watch a short video. finishstrongermindsetcoachin… . . . . #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #ultrarunningmentalwellness #ultratraining #100miletraining #trailrunningcommunity #trailrunninglife #trailrace #trailandultra #ultramarathon #ultramarathontips #runningtips #runninggoals #runstrong #runningmotivation #motherrunner #ultrarunningcommunity

Hi! I have kind of a cool announcement to make, and it is due to all of your support. Over the past year and a half, I’ve seen more growth and potential in my Finish Stronger Mindset and Mental Wellness Coaching business (and the work that I’m doing through Coach Kyle Kranz run coaching, as well), that I’ve decided to temporarily pause my counseling private practice. – There’s still access to all of the free resources on that website. Also, towards the end of this article, you can read about a few client wins and see what people are saying about working with me. I do have availability, so if you think that working together will help you nail your goal(s), let’s chat! finishstrongermindsetcoachin… . . . #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #ultramarathon #ultramarathontips #ultrarunningmotivation #ultrarunnermentalhealth #ultratraining #100miletraining #ultrarunningcommunity #trailrunning #trailandultra #trailrunnersofinstagram #trailrunner #motherrunner #runstrong #ultrarunnermentaltoughness #ultrarunnermindset #badwaterstrong

What a weekend! We wanted to congratulate ALL the Western States runners, crew, volunteers, and fans. Thanks for coming out and as well as supporting from afar. Thank you to @TopoAthletic for their continued support. 📸 Paul Nelson #ultrarunningcommunity #westernstates #ws100

I told myself that I was only going to take pictures during Laurel Highlands Ultra if I saw something awesome. The mountain-laurel was one of those things. I really appreciated them. The mountain laurel has been the state flower of Pennsylvania since 1933. It is actually an evergreen shrub, exhibiting pink and white flowers in the shape of five-point stars. #laurelhighlandsultra #laurelhighlands #mountainlaurel #ultramarathon #trailrunning #trailandultra #trailrunnersofinstagram #trailrunner #trailrunninglife #trailmagic #mothernature #ultrarunnersofinstagram #ultrarunningcommunity #ultrarunningmotivation

The Scarecrow Runner Podcast: Embracing the pain of ultramarathons My friend, Anthony (host of The Scarecrow Runner Podcast), and I got caught up on a few of my races, since we last did a show together. In this episode, which relaunched his show, we chatted about training, my ultramarathon mindset shift (which occurred over the years), and the pains of ultrarunning. It takes longer to recover from ultras vs 5ks. We hope that you get something out of our conversation! finishstrongermindsetcoachin… . . . #thescarecrowrunnerpodcast #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #runningpodcast #runningblog #runningvlog #ultrarunningpodcast #trailandultra #ultratraining #ultramarathon #runningtips #ultrarunningtips #trailrunnersofinstagram #ultrarunnersofinstagram #ultrarunningcommunity #ultrarunningmotivation #runningmotivation #ultrarunnermentaltoughness #motherrunner

My tribe at Laurel Highlands Ultra Here's how this 70.5 miler, that felt like a 100 miler went for me: 19:38:18 - Much slower than I was aiming for, but that's okay, I'm going to continue to work on things. It's all growth. I know the areas, which will be discussed in my race report and post-race questionnaire. I am celebrating the finish and the things that I did or handled well. Also, this time would still let me enter the WSER lottery if I wanted to, but I don't want to get trapped in that lottery mess. I could have started putting tickets in a few years ago. I'm not going to hate on my time, I'm cool with it.
