Choosing a Coach for Western States 100
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- The last time I had a coach was 2019 and while it was a great relationship, I ventured off to do many wild, unconventional races & projects that I wanted to figure out on my own: Badwater 135, The Choose Strong 507 Mile Project, & the Grand Slam of 200s. Now as I journey back to Western States 100 it’s time to reign in my training & seek new guidance in order to continue to grow.

Sally im not even sure you will see this. Thank you to both you and Eddie for your channel and podcast. I am a 40 year old woman who LOVES running and your content. I am a marathoner who aspires to be an ultra runner. I have 3 daughters who i am trying to inspire to be active , whether or not it's swimming , running, biking. Thank you for being a podacast that i can listen to with them! Ps, my oldest loves to write and she named her main charater after you!! Super cool! Much love❤
I'm much more of a shuffler than a runner at this point but i feel so inspired when i watch your videos. Excited to follow your journey to Western States!!
Me too ! ❤
Sally, I listened to your podcast #55 during my long run today. I called my husband and said, " sally just gave the greatest homily I've ever heard" haha. You guys make me laugh and smile even when I'm exhausted. I feel like we are sitting across from eachother having our coffee.. listened to 56 too. Your kids are fantastic and you guys are doing an awesome job... by no means am I fast but, each year I get faster. I had 5 kids in 5 years.. so maybe not as fast as I was, but I certainly am strong. You motivate me to keep doing the work.. As ultrarunners, we may have different goals, but I think most of us all have similar intentions. For me, I like knowing I can physically outwork most people in a room. I can be adaptable and navigate the challenge better than the average person.. today I woke up at 0400 ran 20 miles. Took 30 mins to refuel while my young kids attempted to massage my legs haha, showered and attacked the rest of the day prepping for my daughters communion.. thanks for always being so personal with us. It's nice to be able to relate. Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate you and Eddie very much. Your platform is fantastic. I'm always writing your quotes on my family whiteboard! As always keep doing that work ❤
Love you Sally! I’m running a half marathon in November 2024 and you have inspired me so
Much! Going thru a tough time right now and I have found such peace in running and challenging myself! Im so grateful for your content. Always praying for you and your family and cheering you on! Always Pam
Omg Sally and Makenzie passing each other was the cutest thing🥺❤️
Im just starting to get into long distance running and your videos are such a big inspiration. Im just starting to get into long distance running and your videos are such a big inspiration. You’re a determined, strong minded person and you motivate me and many others to do our best each and everyday.
I was SO excited to see that you took Koop on as a coach. I love his training philosophy, his views on trusting the (verified) science and even just him as a person. I had actually bought his book before I had run my first marathon (hell, even before my first HALF lol). Now that I've completed a marathon, I'm using everything in his book to help me with training for my first 50k!
How did I get to lucky to find this posted only 1 minute ago! Sally you are awesome :)
Thank you for watching!!💛🙏
You are so inspiring. Your smile and laugh are so genuine. Thank you for sharing your journey.
ran my first two 10k trail races because of you. your work ethic is inspiring!! cheers 🥳
Wow that is AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing that with me!!💪💛keep going!
Sally ❤️ You have been such an inspiration to me in my running journey by seeing your perseverance and dedication. Whenever I get into either an emotional or running block, I find myself on your channel or page and your positive energy always brings me back to earth- reminding me to do the work and have a smile doing it because life is such a gift. I cannot thank you enough for being such a great role model for all of us out here ❤️ I love you guys and keep on rockin and rolling!!!!❤️
Let’s GO SALLY!!! Your journey kept me so inspired and entertained in 2023. And I am counting down to cheer you on for Western States. DO THAT WORK!!! And you seeing MaK was awesome! Get her ready Coach Koop!💪🏾
Awesome! Two of my favorite people on the fantastic Sally McRae channel! Coach Jason Koop and Billy Yang!
I'm hoping to buy Jason's book later in the year. I'm dealing with age-related health stuff and life challenges have tanked my fitness level. Currently training to get back to regular running and get back a decent fitness level. As a night owl I just happened to catch Courtney finishing 3rd overall at the Mt Fuji 100 M race. Incredible! Looking foward to more videos and thank you.
Love love love! So exciting another year of your hard working training! And I love your laugh. Always have and just makes me smile! You inspire me so much ❤
Appreciate your kindness thank you so much 💛💛💛
Sally I’ve watched all your races, all your TH-cam episodes & at about #32 episodes of the choose podcast, you are awesome you inspire so many people and you are an all out top human being. I used to run several years ago but gave it up for CrossFit and after finding you it has inspired me to get back out there but on trails, it’s slow progress building again but I am determined as I am already enjoying it again so much. thank you for inspiring me to go find running again ❤❤
Awh I love seeing you run into Makenzie! You remind me a lot of my mom because she is beautiful, strong and encouraging and some of my favorite memories are running with her as I grew up :) Good luck at Western States!!
I love this!! Thank you for always sharing your journey and having so much joy. I just ran my first half marathon because of you. My life has completely changed- I’ve never felt more aware of my body and my limitless potential and that is because of YOU. we love you. Keep killing it ❤️
You are an inspiration! Thank you, Sally.
Appreciate you watching-thank you!
Wishing you the best of luck for the Western States! I recently subscribed to your channel and began watching all of your ultra racing docs and training videos and you're really motivating me to keep going with my running journey. I've been an XC runner since high school but fell out of running shortly after graduating. I started picking it up again in my mid 20's. I've gone as far as running a 10k but I'm hoping to someday run a half marathon and so on. Maybe even dive into the world of ultras, thanks to you!! Thanks for being such an inspiration to us all. Much love from Edmonton, AB Canada!! 🩵
Excited for you to have a breath of fresh air with your training Sally, great to have a strong team around you. Strong within and strong support around you- great to see 💪
Just watched while chilling on the couch with my boyfriend! He loves your merch, I told him if he wants me to buy him something he needs to watch some episodes!! Love your stuff Sally! First marathon in 36 hours. CHOOSE STRONG!!
He is the BEST. I also love you hired someone who is so focused on research with very educational public content. A step above the rest.
Go Sally Go!! I love your podcast, too 😊 been following you for over ten years. You keep me inspired and moving on the trails!! I have six children and I'm in Maine. We have great trails over here!
So glad I found another high energy excited athlete to watch. Found you through Nick Bare and BPN - love your content so far. Keep it up Sally!!!
I love love love your content. Just discovered this Ultra running world and your channel - I discovered endurance sports later in life (late 40s) Am doing the UMTB fun run (18km) in the summer. I love you relationship with your Daughter and you said something so moving on one of your podcasts about how you allow her to make her own choices about her running and that she is only going to have one mom. Was so powerful. so thank you for putting your story out here.
I was doing a trail half marathon 2 days ago and it was a tough one. 3k feet of climbing in the first few miles. On one section of an out and back i thought i saw Sally for a split second. Then i actually laughed and though obviously it isnt cuz theres no way in a thousand years id ever be ahead of this woman haha.
ALWAYS LOVE watching your videos sally. You're so awesome. I get so inspired by you..
I really enjoy Billy's videos. It's so cool that's he's a character in the Sallyverse.
i used to live in Sacramento and go hiking, from Highway 49 up to Tahoe, and would see the racers of the Western States. I have now moved to Africa permanently, but enjoy seeing the scenery of Nor Cal. Every race just know someone from Africa is cheering you on!!!
I'm running my first full marathon (Toronto Marathon) next weekend! So I've just had your videos playing over and over in the background as inspiration and to get myself hyped🥰. Wish my yellow hat would be here by then hah but I'm pumped I'll have it for whatever the next one is !
How fun! What a power throuple in this video! It's going to be exciting watching you work together!
I love your videos and always when I’m not really motivated your Attitude helps me to go on to keep on :)
Watching this between sets as I do some strength out here in dang near 100 degree heat (in the shade!) I go inside to cool off and reward myself with a little Sally. Let's go!
Jason, absolutely, the work is not a linear trajectory.
All the best for States Sally!! I recall Billy's documentary of your 1st run of it, hoping his presence in this video with Koop is a sign he's going to bookend documenting your States runs 🤔 With all the scientists Koop has spoken with re: nutrition & thermal regulation, I'm sure he'll be of benefit 👍
I'll be volunteering at Western States, Sally! At the river! I'll be cheering for you if I see you come through!!!!!!!!! :)
Love watching your vids and podcasts Sally, you’re very inspiring 👍🏼 I have my furthest ultra to date next Saturday, a 60 mile race around my home town of Sheffield in Yorkshire UK, very nervous but looking forward to the challenge 😊
Super inspiring. Keep hammering!
Yeah Sally!!! You’re awesome- can’t wait to see you CRUSH IT at Western States!!!
You are the reason I am going to run my first 50 miler. Thank You ❤🙏🏼
Thanks for that! And alle the best for your goals ☺️
I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH THIS RACE.. AND HOPEFULLY THE VIDEO TO FOLLOW..🇨🇦🙏❤️
Great choice and good luck Sally!
This will be a fun journey! As a fellow coach who has a coach, you won't regret it!
Jason is so awesome!!
The first video I've seen from you was the MOAB documentary, and you are a true insparation to everyone in the sport. I hope Western States will go as you plan it, I am cheering for you! Good prep until then!😁
Koop is the boss! Looking forward to seeing the results of this team up 🙌
Exciting stuff!
Go sally!! Thanks for making me a runner!!
❤❤❤ loving your content 😊
So inspiring 😊
One of the best coaches I have heard- coming from a Sports Med PT perspective
Great call !!
I don’t know what that skeleton running shirt was but it prompted me to go buy it on your website. That looks so cool and I support it being made!
Awesome, what a combination you and Coop, a great formula. Cute dog could possibly be a Shih Tzu❤️ can’t wait to watch
Here for your laugh ❤❤❤ it’s my favorite part 😂 I laugh with you.
Let’s go!!!
Well after 40 plus years of running, moths ago my body told me we were done with it. This makes me sad. Each time I try to run even a very short distance my body doesn't want to do it anymore, heck even walking a half mile is too much these days, (not that I wont keep trying to)
I've gone to PT, doctors etc. seems like nothing helps. So I'll go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, lift a bit, and use the stair climber to keep me moving.
❤️
Exciting journey ahead! Can't wait to see who you choose to guide you through the Western States 100 adventure! We sent you an email, take a look.
I’m so bummed I missed up in my neighborhood and trails this week. Wish you could have stayed in town for Canyons.
I’m in Foresthill too and missed them. Saw Koops van. Didn’t know it was his until after the video came out. So close to running into the three of them. Drat!!
❤
Music on the video is sunny for dayz!👂🏾😄👍🏾☀️🌞☀️🙏🏾🏃🏾♂️🏋🏾♂️🚴🏾♂️🫡🫀
Koop and the other CTS Ultra coaches are the best. Wouldn't trade my coach for anything #CTSAthlete
Sally waoooh
Running coach brings a Big box of donuts ! 🍩🍩🍩🍩
Could be a longer phase of training cycle duration than envisaged Sally ! :)

Ms. Sally McRae and ed.
Love the podcast huge fan first time writer here🎉 super stoked to be able to communicate with you! I have the ultra bug bad. To the point where it is all I think about, day after day, night after night I watch all of the content and wear all the brands I am so close I can feel it. Now here is the kicker… I have never ran in my life. I mean that is a bit far fetched I have ran at some point but like never for anything or in distances that were measurable outside of a living space.. I want to use my deep desire to succeed and mental fortitude to draft a book and podcast following my amazing journeys from Movie theater custodian to ultra marathon champion. I guess I need a place to start. I plan on taking atleast a few weeks to build my endurance and stamina while also getting my nutrition down. I absolutely love Publix brand sushi which is packed with nutrients, carbohydrates and electrolytes that I plan on loading up on and forcing my body to use this fuel source. I do not plan on winning my first ultra much like you, I plan on being a sleeper in the back of the pack and studying everyone very carefully until I have decided it is time to actually start racing (probably a few years of 2nd and third place).
Any ways I am excited for this journey and can really use a sponsor! DM me for my address please I can use some training gear size XXL shirt and 6 men’s shoes. I don’t really like the Nikes but will take whatever is free! ❤ I am so excited for us! “Keep pumping it up”! That is my catch phrase
When is her next video coming? 👀
where can we get that black/yellow nike cap?
Hey Sally! Can you do a video on hormonal balance and if or how you train around your time of the month?
