<p></p><p><strong>When the People Who You Love Don't Get Your Ultrarunning </strong></p><p>Training for an ultramarathon is a massive commitment — and not everyone in your life is going to get it. In this episode, Erin breaks down how to handle the three types of people you'll encounter when your ultrarunning dreams don't align with their worldview: anonymous critics on social media, coworkers and acquaintances who crack jokes at the watercooler, and — hardest of all — close family and friends whose lack of support can really sting.</p><p>From blocking trolls to neutralizing awkward office conversations to giving grace to loved ones who may be scared or simply don't understand, Erin shares personal stories (including a brutal Reddit experience during a femoral stress fracture recovery) and practical strategies for protecting your peace while pursuing what you love. Plus: why you need to be your own number one fan, how to find your people when you don't live in an ultrarunning hub, and a reminder that the trails, the stars, and the trees are always cheering you on.</p><p>Whether you're deep in a training block or just starting to dream of your first ultra, this one's for anyone who's ever felt misunderstood for choosing to run.</p><p>To apply for Erin's 1:1 online coaching go to this link https://bit.ly/4hqOZEL </p><p>Email her at erinmaryquinn@gmail.com </p><p>or visit her website at erinmaryquinn.com </p><p></p>
