BIG NEWS! 3rd in World Ultra Runner of the Year, WR in the 6-day race and one of the most enthusiastic teachers you can meet - so happy to announce Megan Eckert joining the #SharmanUltraCoaching team. Available for coaching now: www.sharmanultra.com/coaches/mega... #embracetheSUC
Welcome to the #SharmanUltraCoaching team, Hal Koerner!
Great to bring on one of the legends of ultrarunning and he's accepting runners now.
He’s won most major ultras and wrote 'Hal Koerner's Field Guide to Ultrarunning.' Check out the details at www.sharmanultra.com #embracetheSUC
After a mth focused on corrective exercises and strengthening, my calves and Achilles felt way better at #JedSmith50k. I can train hard again with 3 mths til Thames Path 100! Also great to see the legendary Jean Pommier crushing it at age 61. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
How do you train for high altitude races like Leadville? I lay out the key factors and how to adapt no matter where you live: ultrarunning.com/featured/hig... #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
Get into Leadville? We have 3 past winners (7 total wins) who can help you race it. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC www.sharmanultra.com
Weight vest power-hiking has made the news this year as exercise for non-runners and due to the UTMB winners using it to train. I talked to @trailrunnernation about its purpose and how to use it effectively on episode 759: trailrunnernation.com/2025/12/ep-7... #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
There are 259 other 100 milers in North America if you didn’t get lucky in the #WS100 or #HR100 lotteries.

If you got into #WS100 @wser today I recommend booking accommodation in Palisades Tahoe for the couple of nights before the race ASAP. Ideally walkable to the start line. Other bookings are less time pressured but this sells out and makes it much more convenient. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC

Time for some 100 mile redemption at #RiodelLago100 #RDL100. This year I’ve had one 100 miler missed due to a death in the family and another canceled mid-race due to smoke/fire. Looking forward to my first 100 finish in 4 years after lots of fun on the roads. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
7th time at the #PortlandMarathon. Really enjoyed it although had to use my ultra bag of tricks. Right hip flexor felt hot and very sore around half way so I backed off for a few miles and it improved. Then an enjoyable push for the last 10k. This never gets old!
#embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
130+ road marathons over 21 years and I still love them. #PDXMarathon #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
Lots of people had the same idea as me today - get out on the #TimberlineTrail for the Autumn colors. One of the best trails in the world. #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
#ThreeSistersSkyline50k was beautiful as ever with the smoke gone now. Unfortunately my legs don’t recover as fast as they used to after a hard race (6 days prior). The views made it more than worthwhile. Thanks @alpinerunningco and great photos by James Holk. #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
20 consecutive years of marathon/ultra wins with the #BoringMarathon CR today. I guess that means I’m old but only slightly past it 😉 #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
Old Oregonian Bastards! Solid running with @thedenuch for 1st and 2nd (Masters) State Champions plus 2nd/3rd OA at #HaulinAspen trail marathon on a beautiful morning. 2wks til #OregonCascades100 and this was just the run I needed. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
With so many sources of advice, especially online, how can you tell good information from bad? I talked through the things to consider with @trailrunnernation so you can make better decisions in training and racing. trailrunnernation.com/2025/07/ep-7... #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
I’ve always wanted to stop and relax at #RuckyChucky instead of powering on for a 22-mile grind at the end of #WS100. This year I was able to do it (before heading off to keep crewing). It was fun…but I’d still rather be racing. #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching 📸 Bryon Powell
Sad to leave Auburn but a very successful trip to #WS100. All my coached runners finished well and Fiona Pascall was solid all day, before and after my pacing. She even outran a bear early on (not kidding)! #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
Congrats to Coach Annie Hughes on her big win at #Tahoe200! Annie’s our resident 200-mile specialist. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
Last hurrah for the old Spider-Man costume at the #SistersCountry50k today. First used for the marathon superhero #GuinnessWorldRecord at the 2008 #EdinburghMarathon and it’s getting ragged. But a good way to make the run more fun, if a little hot. #spiderman #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
Getting the fundamentals right is at the core of ultra success, as I discussed with Australian podcast, Relaxed Running: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2... #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching
Back at it at #SmithRock. Time to start training properly again. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
This #PatriotsDay we have 2 more sponsored 6-month coaching opportunities for military veterans and surviving family members (and more to come every few months). We're thankful to work with #SuckerPunchPickles - application details in link. #SharmanUltraCoaching www.sharmanultra.com/sponsored-ve...
The Spidey suit enhanced last weekend so let’s dust it off again for the #BendHalfMarathon. Plan is to race my way to fitness with some fun along the way. #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching 📷@lauraerxleben
After a crappy winter of illness/injury and minimal training it was good to get out for the classic local #HorseButte10Miler. Not my fastest but not my slowest so the fitness hasn’t gone too far away. Plus fun to have a good race with @thedenuch.

Ahead of my return to UK racing at the #WorldTrailMajors #SouthDownsWay100 I chatted to RD, James Elson, about the differences between UK and US races and how things have changed since we both first started ultras. www.britishultrarunningpodcast.com #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC
We’ve selected the two veterans for the sponsored 6 mths of coaching courtesy of SuckerPunch pickle juice at #SharmanUltraCoaching. But we have more every 4 mths thanks to this generous partnership. Plus get 25% off SuckerPunch products with code SHARMAN25. #embracetheSUC
