What is Becoming Ultra?

For runners.

Becoming Ultra provides resources, inspiration, storytelling, and coaching services to help you as a runner train for your first ultramarathon.

The podcast.

Every season, world-class coaches like Ellie Greenwood, Hillary Allen, Amanda Basham, Liza Howard, Ian Sharman, and Scott Jones pick runners from a pool of applicants and coach them to become ultra runners. Each step of the way is documented on the podcast, and the runners post inspirational stories on social media.

Get coached.

Whether you are training for your first 50K or your 100th one hundred miler, our high-value, individualized coaching methods will get you where you need to be on race day and make the journey more enjoyable.

The team.

Running your first ultra is just the beginning. Get support and accountability from a group of runners who all have their first ultra fresh in mind—or are training for it right now. Get access to the Team BU Facebook group, where these amazing people share resources, stories and advice, and cheer each other on through training and races.

Run with us.

There is nothing better than running in beautiful places with solid coaches and humans along side you the whole way. We focus on atmosphere, fun, and the people as our retreats continue to grow. We hope you’ll check them out from the Colorado high country to the jungles of Costa Rica!
