Jennifer Higgins is back on the Everyday Ultra Podcast after an incredible year of racing, coaching, and learning what she’s capable of.
In this episode we dive into consistency, self-belief, handling the low points of an ultra, learning from difficult races without beating yourself up, and how to stay composed when things don’t go according to plan.
If you’re training for your first ultra, chasing a PR, or trying to become more mentally resilient when races get tough, there’s a lot here you can take straight into your next training block.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How consistency creates freedom in your training
• Why a tough race can become your most valuable training experience
• How to separate a bad performance from your identity
• A simple mental check-in for when your brain says it’s time to stop
• Why self-belief can change how you finish an ultra
• How to build speed and durability together
• How to train for hills without constantly overdoing the vert
• How to adjust when your race-day plan starts falling apart
• Why curiosity can be a powerful mindset for tackling new distances
