About this listen
 Your body isn’t the problem—your mind is. Ultra runners don’t stop because they’re too tired. They stop because doubt, fear, and hesitation convince them to quit. You’ve trained your legs, lungs, and endurance, but when things get tough, does your mindset hold up? True mental toughness isn’t about being fearless. It’s about knowing—deep down—that no matter what happens on race day, you have the resilience, grit, and mental strength to keep moving forward. Unstoppable Ultra Runner is for you if you’re asking: *Why do I lose my confidence when a race gets hard? Learn how to trust yourself and stay mentally strong when it matters most. *How do I stop second-guessing myself before a big race? Develop an unshakable belief in your training and your ability to finish. *What’s the secret to pushing through when It seems impossible? Master the mindset shifts that separate those who stop from those who keep going. *How do I handle setbacks without falling apart? Turn challenges into fuel, so you come back stronger every time. *Why do I always play it safe instead of going after big goals? Break free from self-doubt and run with the confidence to chase what you really want. Hosted by Susan Donnelly, a veteran ultra runner with over 150 100-mile ultra finishes, Unstoppable Ultra Runner gives you the mindset focus you need to run your best races. As a coach, Susan has helped ultra runners of all levels—beginners to veterans—build confidence, increase performance, and go after big goals with a mental game that matches their physical training. Whether you’re aiming for your first finish or your fastest time, she’ll help you develop the mental strength to push past limits and run races you’re truly proud of. Follow now and start training the one thing that’s been holding you back.

    Lottery Season is Here! Ready to Run Your Dream Race?
    Nov 12 2026

    Ready to have races you’re proud of?

    The answer isn’t asking more of your body - It’s using the untapped potential of your mind.

    I can help you harness that potential in my 1:1 Mental Mastery Coaching for Ultrarunners. This is a six-month coaching program where we build the mental skills experienced ultrarunners use to handle difficult races well.

    If you’re ready to stop repeating the same mental patterns in your races and start developing the mindset that lets your training show up when it matters most, I’d love to talk with you.

    83. Stop Delaying Your Dream Race: You Need a 3-Year Plan
    Nov 11 2026

    You've had your eye on a dream race for years, but somehow, every time registration or lottery season comes around, you find another reason to put it off. The timing isn't right, you're not ready, or life gets in the way. You tell yourself you'll do it next year, but next year comes and goes, and you're still no closer to the starting line.

    I've fallen into this trap myself, and I see it happen to ultrarunners all the time. The problem isn't necessarily your motivation or ability. It's that you're planning one race season at a time instead of looking at the bigger picture. Tune in this week to discover why a 3-year plan could be the missing piece in achieving your ultrarunning goals.

    Nov 4 2026

    Is there an ultra you've been dreaming about running... but just thinking about entering the lottery makes you nervous? Maybe it's a tougher course, a longer distance, or a race with tight cutoffs. You want to take on the challenge, but the thought of actually getting into the race feels overwhelming. If this is you, I want you to listen in.

    You'll discover how to turn an intimidating ultra into a challenge you know how to approach. I share how to identify what's making the race feel overwhelming, work through the unknowns one by one, and build the confidence to take on a big goal without waiting another year to feel ready.
