Just get started and you’ll be amazed how much you can achieve when you stick with it! Follow @pierceshowe to help you run your race #RunYourRace #Marathon #Ultramarathon #Ironman

Today was a special day! Shoutout @hoka and @carlostherunner for getting me set up🙏 #RunYourRace #Running #Marathon

It is LONELY in the beginning But keep going because it gets better 👊 Shoutout to @jeremymille.r and @kidcoki for crushing it this weekend #RunYourRace #Running #Marathon

I woke up late so I didn’t run Is exactly what I would’ve said if I listened to my feelings this morning Had to conquer the mind to get out there this morning Not my best run ever but I’m glad we stacked another brick today Don’t listen to your feelings, get out there and put in the work T-15 days until I run the hardest 100 miler I’ve ever done (Habanero 100) #RunYourRace #Marathon #Ultramarathon

POV: When you tell me you live in Dallas, TX but you haven’t been to @runwchristdtx 😂🤷‍♂️ All jokes aside we won’t do this to you but you should come This summer has definitely been the best one yet in large part with what God is doing through Run With Christ. We started a little over a year ago and as a result people have come to know Jesus, been baptized, and met new best friends. We even had 3 guys who didn’t know each other meet through Run with Christ and now they all live together and are best friends. I am so grateful for what God is doing. Praise God 🙌 #Jesus #RunWithChrist #JesusisKING #Running #Dallas Community

Before and after my 54k trail race this weekend #RunYourRace #Ultramarathon #Trailrunning

Gear I Used for a 54k Trail Race (97°F) 🧢 @getsaltybritches x @bocogear 🕶️ @spyoptic 🦺 @salomonrunning 🎽 @runur.run 🩳 @runur.run 🧦 @swiftwicksocks 👟 @hoka One I forgot to mention was my ice bandana from @runinrabbit I had never used one before but it was an absolute game changer #RunYourRace #Ultramarathon #Running #Trailrunning

Sufferfest 54k done and dusted ✅ And the race definitely lived up to its name😂 We started at 7pm and the temperature was 97°F so it was very hot but perfect to help me get ready for Habanero 100 in just 19 days I was able to take 3rd overall and run 35 minutes faster than my time 2 years ago I am a huge fan of doing a tune up race before your A race for the year. It allows you to test your fueling strategy, specific gear, and other things before it’s time to race After running this race I think I’ll switch things up and use handheld bottles for habanero 100 since the course is a 6 mile loop Also, I’ll definitely tape up my feet to make sure I don’t get any blisters on my toes again But that’s what it is all about. Just getting a little bit better with every race you run! Go out and Run Your Race Also thank you to @blazetrailsrun for putting on a great race🙌 📸: @thegoatyote

Right now the worlds toughest ultramarathon is going on and it is pretty crazy what happened The race is called the Badwater 135 and it goes through Death Valley in California 

Temperatures reach over 120 degrees… 😳
 This year Max Joliffe just set a new course record of 20:53:46 That is an average pace of 9:18/mi 

This just shows that we are discovering new levels of what is possible running in the heat Congrats @woah_max on the big win and to everyone else who raced Badwater 135!

One Mindset Shift That Will Completely Change The Way You Train Follow @pierceshowe to help you Run Your Race Day 15/365 posting every single day #Running #Marathon #Ultramarathon

Here’s what I’ve learned about the mindset you need from running marathons, 5 x 100 mile races, and 3 x 200 mile races 👇 1️⃣ Start with something that is a little bit outside of your current capability. I went from 13.1 miles → 26.2 miles → 52 miles → 100 miles → 200 miles → 250 miles Before I had ever done a half marathon, I couldn’t even comprehend doing a 100 mile race… But with each race more becomes possible. 2️⃣ Use the power of segmentation to break down the race My friend who is a Navy Seal taught me this concept they use during Hell week. Segmentation is breaking a larger task into smaller task For an hour run, break it up into 15 minute chunks For a marathon, break it up water station to water station Just focus on getting to the next checkpoint and the run won’t feel as daunting 3️⃣ Expect it to SUCK If it was easy everyone would do it and we only grow through challenges so toughen up and push through. During a 100 mile race people think it just gets worse and worse. This is what gets most people to quit When in reality, the pain comes in waves. You just got to push through and it will get better. You got this Push through the discomfort and RUN YOUR RACE 🚀

Years ago I stayed away from pizza and tried to eat as clean as possible but after years of training I’ve learned it’s okay to have a pizza here or there I’ve found that when I am training for a big race I need to eat lots of carbs to fuel my performance Sometimes that calls for a pizza Sometimes that calls for a full sugar Mexican coke Now I focus on the 80/20 80% of my diet is pretty clean but 20% is pizza and other “unhealthy” foods just to help me get the calories in #RunYourRace #Running #Marathon #Ultramarathon #Carbs

Over the last couple of years I took my marathon time from a 3:43 down to a 2:51 Here are the 5 things you must do to run a sub 3 marathon this fall based on what I did 1. Consistently Running 50+ miles a week during your prep. There is no way around it. If you want to be able to maintain below 6:52 pace for that long, you have to have the durability and base to work with 2. Speed work EVERY week during your prep (Btw I prefer 16 week prep). Every day during the prep I did a track workout on Wednesday and then about every 3-4 weeks I did a long run speed workout which consisted of intervals of 2-3 miles at marathon pace in a row 3. Fuel with 60-90 grams of carbs. You can be doing the work and putting in the miles but if there is no gas in the tank you are going to blow up. 4. Run with friends. Training for a marathon is hard enough. Make it more enjoyable by doing group runs for easy runs or go to the track when there are other people working out 5. 3 day carb load. You MUST top off your glycogen stores if you want to have enough energy late in the race. I ate so many carbs in the 3 days before the race I didn’t ever want to look at another carb again in my life lol. Put these 5 things into place for your prep this fall and watch you crush the race and set a PR.

Less than 1% of people have run a marathon Not 50% The average marathon time is a 4 hours and 30 minutes Not A Sub 3 Hour Marathon The average runner runs 6-10 mile per week Not 40+ 80% of recreational runners get injured every year Not just you The goal was never to be average but social media can distort reality and make us feel behind when we really aren’t Focus on being better than you were yesterday and RUN YOUR RACE #Marathon #Ultramarathon #Running

The side of running that nobody talks about… Behind every success there are loads of failure along the way Despite running a bunch of marathons and hundred mile races there are still times where I mess up So don’t get discouraged if you bonk a run. Use it as a learning experience and get better There is no losing. Failure is actually great if we learn from it Day 7/365 posting every day for a year #RunYourRace #Marathon #Ultramarathon

How to suck at running I wanted to make this video because sometimes we need to to hear out loud the things that go on in our minds to realize how crazy they are Btw I love Goggins but some people take his message the wrong way and don’t understand that he does easy runs too #RunYourRace #Marathon #Running

Had ourselves a week! T-33 days until the Habanero 100 mile ultramarathon Really happy with this week and how my body has handled the Texas heat Habanero 100 is in Houston, TX in the month of August so that means extremely high temperatures Although I had some great runs, the highlight of the week was a 24 hour trip with Ashlee down to Austin for a collab run club with @goodnewsrunclub We worshipped, the gospel was preached, and several people decided to get baptized I was incredibly excited when my friend Ian came up to me and told me he wanted to be baptized. God is on the move! Let’s make it another amazing week🚀 #RunYourRace #Running #Jesus

Advice I’d give you as someone who has run 15+ marathons, 6 x 100 milers, and 3 x 200 milers - if I wasn’t afraid to hurt your feelings… - You are not failing because of your gear. Stop focusing so much on the shoes and the gear you use and focus on your running, strength training, and nutrition - If you just focus on running the race without building the habit of training consistently long term then you are missing the whole point. Focus on WHO YOU ARE BECOMING - Building endurance takes TIME and CONSISTENCY. Don’t judge your paces based off of someone else’s Instagram… Focus on what you need to do every week and EXECUTE - Trying to run hard every day is hurting you far more than it is helping you. We are basically taught in sports that running = sprints and pushing yourself hard all the time when that is not how you build endurance. 80% of runs should be at an easy pace, 20% hard. #RunYourRace #Marathon #Ultramarathon #Endurance

POV: The boys pray all day to see a bear then this happens… As if the trip to Yosemite couldn’t get any better! Had to share. Such an epic weekend in Yosemite

Unbelievable weekend in Yosemite celebrating @sammygfit for his bachelor trip I am so grateful to call Samuel a best friend and someone who I’ve been able to walk through life with the last couple years We have grown so much closer to the Lord together as we’ve prayed together countless times About two years ago we started praying for our future wives together and here we are just a short time later and have met the girls of our dreams🙏 P.S. - Highly recommend going to a national park for a bachelor trip

Real talk… Yosemite over Las Vegas any day of the week!! I am so grateful God interrupted my life years ago and brought me out of the unfulfilling lifestyle I was living It blows my mind that in a past life I would’ve probably chose Las Vegas over this trip Kinda mind blowing We had the most amazing weekend hiking, bonding, and praying for my friend @sammygfit as he gets ready to be married! Highly recommend doing this #RunYourRace

How I Fueled to Run a 2:51 Marathon 🥇 A lot of runners bonk in a marathon not because they aren’t fit enough… But because they underfuel. Here’s what I did to stay strong all 26.2 miles 👇 🔋 Took a Maurten 160 right before the race 🏃‍♂️ Then took 1 gel every 4 miles — roughly every 25 minutes Gels at: Mile 4 Mile 8 Mile 12 Mile 16 Mile 20 Mile 20 (Bonus: Caffeinated Gel) Mile 24 That gave me just over 80g of carbs per hour — right in the optimal range for endurance performance. If you’re blowing up at mile 18+… It may not be your training. It’s could be your fueling. Fuel like it matters. Run your race. 👊 Follow @pierceshowe to help you PR your next race

10 Hacks Below 👇🏻 I see runners collapse into a walk by mile 2 every summer, still running like it’s 50 degrees out... These are the 10 hacks to run in the heat without dying that will change everything: 1. Start 30-60 seconds slower than your normal easy pace In this heat, your easy pace isn’t your easy pace - hold your splits and you won’t make it home. 2. Stop thinking slower means you lost fitness You’re training your heart to work harder for the same effort - heat-train now and you’ll fly once it cools off. 3. Hydrate like it’s your job Carry water even on a 30-minute run - “it’s short” is how runners end up walking home. 4. Get electrolytes in, not just water Aim for 400-800mg of sodium per liter - water alone dilutes you further. 5. Ditch cotton, wear light colors White reflects the sun - cotton holds sweat and cooks you from the outside in. 6. Cover your skin instead of exposing it Arm sleeves or a loose long-sleeve block direct sun - less skin exposed, less drained you’ll feel. 7. Build your heat tolerance gradually Don’t jump from the treadmill to a long run in 90 degrees - give your body a couple weeks to adapt. 8. Rethink your fueling Heat slows digestion - start light and easy to digest, then build as your stomach adapts. 9. Run during the coolest hours Early morning or dusk isn’t just comfortable - it’s the difference between a good run and a dangerous one. 10. Know when to stop, not just slow down Chills, dizziness, or you stop sweating - that’s “walk now,” not “push through it.” The truth is, running in heat isn’t about toughness - it’s about respecting what your body is dealing with. Implement these hacks and you’ll survive summer training instead of just surviving your run. Follow @pierceshowe to help you run your next race #marathon #ultramarathon #running #runyourrace

10 Hacks Below 👇🏻 I see runners collapse into a walk by mile 2 every summer, still running like it’s 50 degrees out... These are the 10 hacks to run in the heat without dying that will change everything: 1. Start 30-60 seconds slower than your normal easy pace In this heat, your easy pace isn’t your easy pace - hold your splits and you won’t make it home. 2. Stop thinking slower means you lost fitness You’re training your heart to work harder for the same effort - heat-train now and you’ll fly once it cools off. 3. Hydrate like it’s your job Carry water even on a 30-minute run - “it’s short” is how runners end up walking home. 4.

Here’s what I’ve learned about the mindset you need from running marathons, 5 x 100 mile races, and 3 x 200 mile races 👇 1️⃣ Start with something that is a little bit outside of your current capability. I went from 13.1 miles → 26.2 miles → 52 miles → 100 miles → 200 miles → 250 miles Before I had ever done a half marathon, I couldn’t even comprehend doing a 100 mile race… But with each race more becomes possible. 2️⃣ Use the power of segmentation to break down the race My friend who is a Navy Seal taught me this concept they use during Hell week. Segmentation is breaking a larger task into smaller task For an hour run, break it up into 15 minute chunks For a marathon, break it up water station to water station Just focus on getting to the next checkpoint and the run won’t feel as daunting 3️⃣ Expect it to SUCK If it was easy everyone would do it and we only grow through challenges so toughen up and push through. During a 100 mile race people think it just gets worse and worse. This is what gets most people to quit When in reality, the pain comes in waves. You just got to push through and it will get better. You got this Push through the discomfort and RUN YOUR RACE 🚀 Follow @pierceshowe to help you accomplish your running goals
