I’ve been training runners for 6 years, but I still remember what it feels like to be a “newbie...”

My first race was overwhelming. I researched and trained the best way I could, but when race day came I felt like I didn't belong there. I was in WAY over my head.

I tried to train on my own to prepare, but it was HARD.

🚫 I didn't have a training plan that worked for my lifestyle and needs. There were a million training plans online and they all had conflicting, misleading information. I had no idea which was the “right” one to follow.

🚫 I didn’t know what gear to buy, or how to train for the specific race I was doing. “How do I train for a race with lots of rolling hills vs. one that’s got steep ups & downs?”

🚫 I didn't know how much my diet, mindset, and sleep were affecting my progress, or what tweaks to make to fix it.

Not to mention, I was in it alone. I didn't have runner friends who "got it." That also meant nobody to share experiences with, vent to, or make the training process more fun.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have made 5X the amount of progress in the same amount of time (and, felt confident and prepared at my first ultra).

That's why I created the Run Your First 50K Training Program. I can't wait to see you inside.

I don't want to know what training for my first 50K would have looked and felt like without Meghan!!

This program changed my training in a big way. I felt stuck in my running - like I wasn't making progress. It taught me how to train well and, now I know what to do in the future as well. "

HOW DOES IT WORK? 👇🏼

1. Get your training plan

We'll do a quick Zoom interview so I can assess your needs. Then, I'll create a customized training plan that tells you exactly what to do, and when to do it.

2. Get custom strength & mobility workouts

As a runner, your body is your machine and mobility is the regular maintenance it needs. We'll go through the body from head to toe (literally) and get you all tuned up for your first 50k.

3. Conquer the 6 pillars of ultra training

The biggest mistake I see runners make when training is they forget to address all the factors that affect race day (mindset, race strategy, mobility training, etc.). We'll meet up each week on Zoom to master a different aspect of ultra running so you don't make the same mistake.

4. Get personalized coaching & accountability

I had tons of questions when I was just starting out running ultras - so I'll be there to answer yours and personally coach you through your training process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few answers to my most common questions

1. Pre-requisite FAQs

i. Is it necessary for me to have run a marathon before signing up for this program?

No! You don't need to have done a marathon before entering into this program. We'll talk about how long you should train in order to be thoroughly prepared for your first 50k and on the way to hitting that goal, you can do a marathon.
ii. Do I have to be running a certain number of miles per week?

Nope! This program doesn't require you to run a certain number of miles each week. We'll make some recommendations for what's going to best prepare you for the 50k distance, but what you run is ultimately up to you.
iii. What if I'm currently injured, can I still participate?

I would recommend that you get fully cleared by your doctor before you join the group.

2. Time & Scheduling FAQs

i. How much time each week does the program require?

The amount of time required will vary based on where you are in your training. I recommend that you set aside between 6 - 12 hours per week to participate in the group and complete your training (strength, mobility, and running). We have a group coaching call every Wednesday night and the rest of the work can be done when it's convenient for you. We focus on time management & scheduling a lot in this program since it's one of the first obstacles all new ultra runners encounter.
ii. When are the weekly group coaching calls?

The group calls are every Wednesday night from 6:30 - 7:30 pm EST. These are conducted via Zoom and the replays are posted inside the membership for anyone that can't make it live.

3. Billing & Return FAQs

i. What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards. We're not offering Venmo or PayPal options at this time.
ii. What if I choose to drop out of the program?

We'll be sorry to see you go, but that's your choice. In the event that you choose to drop out, your account will remain active and you will still be able to access all of the resources there in for a full year from the time of your original sign up.
iii. Do you offer refunds?

We have a 30 day money back guarantee. If you do all the work as outlined in the program and you don't see an improvement in your physical performance (muscular strength, joint mobility, and cardiovascular stamina) then we'll gladly refund your money. Just provide us with access to copies of the trackers you've filled out as provided in the program as well as your Garmin/Coros/Strava data. If you have questions about this, just ask!

4. Program FAQs

i. How long does the program last?

This program is 6 weeks long. During that time, you'll be learning the 6 pillars to a solid 50k training plan and we'll meet every Wednesday night from 6:30 - 7:30 pm EST for our group coaching call.
ii. How do I access the program materials?

Once you've signed up, you'll receive an email with directions for how to create your own log-in for the membership. This is where you'll find all the resources: videos, training plans, links to the group coaching calls, audio notes, etc. If for some reason you don't get this email, first check your spam folder. If it's not there, then shoot me an email: meghan@meghan-gould.com.
