Prepare your ears to hear all about the awesomeness that is the Zion 100 Challenge by Milestone Events. As an ambassador for this event, I receive my entry in exchange for some posts and reels before, during and afterwards. It’s an amazing opportunity to try to hit my goal of 100k!! So I thought I’d share more about it…since I’m finally allowed to! The second part of the ep

This episode is all about the things in life that can affect our runs. Family drama, wedding plans, a shrinking household, feeling irrelevant as a person. Our bodies recognize stress…but not necessarily where that stress is coming from. And stress plays into our training as runners! I share a few more thoughts about my DNF at Lake Martin 2 weeks ago… this time from a much more

They’re true because they either happened to me… or one of my kids! They actually have zero to do with running, but everything to do with listening to fun stuff on the run. I share a bit about why Lake Martin 50 doesn’t seem as terrifyi

Lake Martin 50 is 12 (TWELVE!) days away and the jitters and anxiety have reached an all-time high! Do you always get nervous before races? Has it ever felt crippling? Here are a few tips I use to help get me to the start line. Share yours at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady Thanks for listening and happy running!!

On today’s episode, I discuss the seemingly unreal progress I’ve made since barely being able to run for 15 seconds straight back in May 2018 when I first started running. Now I’m less than 3 weeks away from my 4th ultramarathon…and my first EVER 50 mile race!

This episode dives into why it’s so important to see yourself as the amazing runner you are… it’s your body and you can run for whatever reason you want to.
