Champion Ultra Runner Holly Ransom on Goals, Training & Mental Toughness

Champion Ultra Runner Holly Ranson on Goals, Training & Mental Toughness

In this episode of the Women’s Running Collective, Hayley and Jussie chat with Australian ultra champion Holly Ranson, who currently holds every major national record — from the 12-hour and 24-hour runs to the 100-mile, 200km, and Backyard Ultra. Holly joins us from France, where she’s training at altitude ahead of the World Ultra Track Championships.

We dive into her training approach, the mindset behind pushing limits, and how she balances massive goals with everyday life. Holly shares her experiences as a self-coached athlete, her thoughts on motivation and routine, and her advice for any runner chasing their next breakthrough no matter the distance.

We also celebrate recent marathon highlights from the community and share a dose of inspiration for anyone looking to reconnect with their running “why.”

Tune in for an honest, uplifting conversation about resilience, routine, and redefining what’s possible.
