Episode Notes

Most runners don’t fail on race day because of fitness… they fail because of poor execution.

And more often than not, it comes down to one thing:
crewing and pacing.

In this solo episode, I break down the real role of crew and pacers. Diving into the difference between barely surviving a race and actually executing it.

From choosing the right crew chief to understanding when to push or hold back, this episode dives into the details most runners overlook:

  • The difference between crewing vs pacing (and why it matters)
  • How to organize your crew so race day isn’t chaos
  • What your crew should actually be doing at aid stations
  • How pacers can keep you moving (without ruining your race)
  • The subtle signals runners give when things are going wrong
  • Why emotional control from your crew can make or break your race

This episode is for:

  • Runners preparing for their first (or next) ultra
  • Crew members who want to actually be helpful
  • Pacers who want to show up the right way

Because here’s the truth:
No one finishes an ultra alone! Even if they cross the line by themselves.

If you want a race-day plan that actually works, this is a must-listen.
