April 21, 2025

In this episode of the RunDNA podcast, join Doug and Coach Reese - ultra-endurance athlete, coach, and a key member of the Run DNA team - for a deep dive into the science and art of ultra marathon training.


Reese shares his journey from trail athlete to coach, recounts wild race nutrition experiments (boiled banana sports drink, anyone?), and discusses the mental strategies needed to conquer the toughest miles.

They also preview our new course, Ultra Training Fundamentals: An Athlete Development Model, launching this Summer. This course, led by Reese, introduces athlete personas and a systematic, personalized approach to ultra training for both coaches and athletes.


Whether you’re preparing for your first ultra or looking to improve your coaching, this episode is packed with practical insights and a behind-the-scenes look at what’s next from Run DNA
