Most runners think peak weeks are simply about logging the biggest mileage of their training cycle. But the athletes who arrive at race day strong understand that these weeks are about much more than volume.

You'll also discover:
-Why peak weeks are about far more than just accumulating miles
-The hidden purpose behind your longest runs and biggest training blocks
-A simple mindset shift that can transform how you approach race preparation
-The costly mistake that ruined an otherwise excellent training cycle
-The often-overlooked recovery factors that can make or break peak training
-Key warning signs your body may be giving you during high-volume training
-How to balance training stress without sacrificing long-term progress
-The surprising role that sleep, fueling, and strength work play when mileage is highest
Learn how to turn peak training into a powerful advantage—and arrive at race day healthy, confident, and ready to perform.

Glute pain, sciatica, hamstring issues, and hip impingements can be some of the most confusing — and frustrating — injuries runners deal with. Because when pain shows up in the glute, hip, hamstring, or low back, the actual cause isn’t always where you feel it.
In this episode, I’m joined again by physical therapist and strength coach Kameron Harder to continue our injury prevention and rehab series for runners.
This time, we break down some of the trickiest problem areas in the posterior chain and hips — including why glute pain might actually be coming from your low back, how sciatica really works, why hamstring tightness is often a strength issue, and what runners need to know about hip impingements.
In this episode, we cover:
Why glute pain is often misdiagnosedHow low back and SI joint issues can refer pain into the gluteThe difference between true sciatica and general nerve-related painWhat to do for hamstring tightness and hamstring injuriesWhy stretching isn’t always the answer for hamstring painThe best strength exercises for healthier glutes and hamstringsHow range of motion, control, and strength all play a role in injury preventionWhy heavy strength training matters for building more resilient runnersSHOW LINKS:

Speed work can be one of the biggest game-changers in ultramarathon training — but only if you know how to use it the right way.
In this episode, I break down the three key types of speed work that every ultrarunner should understand: VO2 max workouts, lactate threshold workouts, and steady state workouts.
You’ll learn what each workout actually does, how they’re different from each other, when to use them in your training, and how to structure them so you can build more fitness without blowing yourself up.
I also explain why speed work matters for ultrarunners, even if most of your race is done at an easy effort, and how these workouts can help you raise your fitness ceiling, improve your ability to sustain faster paces, and become stronger and more durable on race day.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why running easy all the time can eventually lead to a fitness plateauHow VO2 max work helps raise your overall fitness ceilingWhy lactate threshold workouts help you run faster for longerHow steady state workouts build aerobic strength and durabilityWhen to use each type of speed workout in your training blockExample workouts you can steal and use in your own trainingHow to safely introduce speed work without increasing injury riskWhy uphill speed work can be a cheat code for ultrarunnersSHOW LINKS:

Training camps can be one of the most valuable tools in ultramarathon training — especially when you know how to use them the right way.
In this episode, I recap my 3-day, 71-mile Western States 100 training camp and break down the biggest lessons I learned from running the course less than a month out from race day.
I cover why training camps are so useful, how to structure one for your own race, what I learned about the Western States course, how I’m adjusting my race strategy, and the key takeaways around pacing, heat management, downhill durability, hydration, nutrition, and mental approach.
This episode is not just a Western States recap. It’s a guide for how to use any training camp as a dress rehearsal so you can show up to your next ultra more prepared, more confident, and more ready to execute.

What happens when ultra runners bring an ultra mindset to one of the most iconic marathons in the world?
In this episode we discuss taking on the “Double Boston” — running from the finish line to the start line of the Boston Marathon before turning around and running the official marathon itself.
You’ll hear how different athletes approached the same challenge in completely different ways: chasing joy instead of pace goals, learning to stay present instead of obsessing over performance, and discovering how community can completely transform the race experience. From first-time Boston emotions to decades of marathon wisdom, this episode is packed with lessons every ultra runner can apply to training, racing, and life.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How focusing less on performance may lead to your most meaningful race experienceThe strategies that helped runners tackle 52 miles in one dayWhat road runners can learn from ultra runners about resilience, patience, and communityThe mindset shift that can make hard races feel more joyfulWhy the people you run with can completely change your experience in endurance sportsHow to stay present during races instead of constantly chasing the next goalThe mental habits that help ultra runners keep moving when things get difficultSHOW LINKS:

What does it really mean to be an ultra runner when you still have a full-time job, a family, responsibilities, and a life outside the trails?
In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast with Brian Peterson you will learn from one of the most honest and relatable conversations about what it means to chase big goals as part of the “95%” of runners balancing training with real life.

This is a conversation about identity, self-belief, relationships, discipline, community, and why ultra running has the power to make ordinary people become stronger in every area of life.
In this episode, Brian shares:
• Why the “95%” of ultra runners may be the true heart of the sport
• The mindset shift that helps runners tackle distances they’ve never attempted before
• How to balance ultra training with marriage, family, work, and real-world responsibilities
• The powerful role community and connection play in long-term success
• Lessons from a top-10 Desert Peak finish that apply to every ultra runner

What does it take to go back to one of the hardest 200+ mile races in the world and run it 10 hours faster?
In this episode, Randi Zuckerberg returns to the Everyday Ultra Podcast after finishing Cocodona 250 for the second time, and this time, she didn’t just finish—she leveled up in every way.
After dealing with injury, rebuilding her body through strength training and swimming, setting an FKT on the Baja Sur Traverse, and coming back to Cocodona with unfinished business, Randi shares the full story of what it took to chase mastery over 250 miles.
But this episode is about more than a race recap. It’s about what happens when you stop asking, “Can I do this?” and start asking, “How good can I become?”
In this episode, Randi shares:
How she took 10 hours off her Cocodona 250 timeWhy her second finish was even more transformational than her firstHow she rebuilt after injury and came back strongerThe mindset shift from simply surviving a race to pursuing masteryHow crew, pacers, and team energy can completely change a 200-mile raceWhy sleep deprivation, aid station efficiency, and problem-solving matter so much in 200sHow to keep moving when your feet are wrecked, your mind is dark, and quitting feels temptingThe deeper life lessons ultrarunning teaches about belief, resilience, and transformationSHOW LINKS:

Training for an ultramarathon isn’t just about logging miles — it’s about figuring out how to fit those miles into a real life that includes work, relationships, responsibilities, stress, and everything else that comes with being a human.
In this Q&A episode, I’m answering listener questions on some of the biggest challenges everyday ultrarunners face: how to balance training with a busy schedule, what to do when GI issues hit on race day, whether the 10% mileage rule actually matters, how to plan long run routes based on time instead of distance, and more.
This episode is packed with practical takeaways to help you train smarter, troubleshoot problems before they ruin your race, and build a training plan that actually fits your life.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to know if your ultra goal actually fits your current life scheduleWhy “just making time” for training can backfire if you ignore recoveryThe biggest mistake runners make when trying to balance work, chores, and big mileageHow to troubleshoot race-day GI problems before they spiralWhy hydration and sodium may be the hidden cause of your stomach issuesWhether the 10% mileage rule is actually useful — or completely overratedHow to increase mileage based on your body instead of a generic ruleA simple way to plan long runs when your training is based on timeWhy the sauna can be a powerful tool — and when it can become too muchHow to use heat training without wrecking the rest of your running weekSHOW LINKS:

Cocodona 250 delivered some of the most inspiring performances in ultrarunning — and inside those performances are lessons every ultrarunner can use, whether you’re chasing a podium, a PR, or simply trying to reach the finish line.
In this episode, I break down the biggest takeaways from this year’s Cocodona 250, including what Rachel Entrekin’s historic overall win and Kilian Korth’s men’s course record can teach us about belief, preparation, execution, and resilience in long ultras.
Because in races this long, fitness matters — but it’s not the only thing that determines your result. Your mindset, aid station strategy, fueling plan, decision-making, and ability to problem-solve when everything goes wrong can be the difference between a breakthrough and a DNF.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why “unreasonable” goals might be the exact thing that help you level upHow to pair big belief with the actions required to actually make it realThe two biggest keys to faster, more efficient aid stationsWhy sometimes a calculated risk can save your entire raceHow to know when to fix a problem immediately versus keep movingWhy you don’t have to eat real food in long ultras if your fueling plan worksHow good weather can trick you into making bad race-day decisionsWhy a bad stretch early in a 100- or 200-mile race does not mean your race is overThis one is for any ultrarunner who wants to race smarter, believe bigger, and become harder to break when things get tough.

Rachel Entrekin and Kilian Korth just rewrote what we thought was possible at Cocodona 250.
Rachel became the overall champion, set the overall course record, and won Cocodona for the third time, making history in not only this race, but in the sport.
Kilian won the men’s race, set a new men’s course record, and overcame many years of challenges at this race to become the fastest male to ever ran the course.
In this episode, we sit down with Rachel and Kilian right after their historic performances to talk about what actually happened out there: the chase, the pressure, the doubts, the lows, the breakthrough moments, and what it takes to perform at the highest level in a 200+ mile race.
Things we discuss:
The moment Rachel decided to take the lead at mile 60 — and why she refused to wait for anyone elseWhat it felt like for Kilian to chase “a ghost” for nearly 200 milesHow Rachel ran up Mount Elden to make a statement — when most runners would be survivingThe pressure of being counted out, doubted, underestimated, or given an “asterisk”Why Kilian believes 200-mile racing is not just “whoever is fastest”The difference between being in pain and letting pain mentally break youThe 20-minute rule Rachel uses when something starts going wrong in a raceHow Rachel and Kilian turned doubt into fuelWhy impossible goals might be more realistic than your spreadsheet saysWhat this race proved about human potential, belief, and the future of ultrarunningSHOW LINKS:

This episode is a special one — it was recorded live at the Boston Marathon Expo during an episode of For The Long Run.
I joined Jon Levitt for a conversation all about what it really means to “go farther” — not just in running, but in life. And whether you’re chasing your first 5K, trying to PR your marathon, stepping into ultras, or taking on a goal that scares the hell out of you, this episode is all about helping you believe that you’re capable of more.
In this episode, we talk about:
How running helped me go from addiction to 7 years soberWhy “going farther” doesn’t always mean running more milesHow to choose goals that scare you in the right wayWhy failure is never really failure if you learn from itHow to use hard moments in running to become stronger in lifeWhy your “why” matters when things get hardThe power of self-talk when you’re deep in the pain caveHow to approach uncertainty, fear, and big goals with confidenceHuge thank you to Jon Levitt and For The Long Run for having me on, and to Mount to Coast for hosting this live event at the Boston Marathon Expo
