After nearly a decade of coaching ultrarunners, I've started to notice certain patterns that immediately make me pay closer attention.

They're not guarantees that something will go wrong...but they are red flags that often lead to injury, burnout, missed goals, or unnecessary frustration if they're ignored.

In this episode, I'm sharing the 10 things that make me nervous as a coach—from blindly following a training plan and making huge jumps in mileage to being afraid to walk, obsessing over missed runs, and chasing the next magic bullet.

If you're training for your first (or farthest) ultra, this episode will help you identify potential blind spots before they become bigger problems.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why "just following the plan" isn't always the best strategy
The training mistakes that most often lead to injury or burnout
How fear quietly influences your training decisions
Why consistency beats perfection every time
When it's time to ask for help before things blow up
