This is the application to be one of the selected runners for the "Becoming Ultra" Project. Probably the best way to train for your first ultra in the world!
*You are willing and able to pay for the services of coach Liza Howard or Sean Meissner of Sharman Ultra. They are some of the best runners and coaches in the industry and they are opening up a fully booked coaching schedule to take you for this project, which is awesome for all of us! NOTE: You can find information on the coaching services as Tier 3 coaching at
http://www.sharmanultra.com/coaching.
*You understand that signing a release for full access to the training and coaching sessions, as well as any and all media obtained during the project.
*You must not have attempted or completed an Ultra before the beginning of the project.
*You are willing and able to contribute written AND video of your experience at your will for social media and for the BecomingUltra website. We and our audience want to truly be a part of the experience. This requires multiple posts per week! It's fun, we promise.
* You agree to be on the podcast roughly every other week.
* You are able to run the Bandera 50k in Bandera, Texas the weekend of January 5-6, 2019. This is our partner race for the season! For media reasons, we need all of the subjects to be in the same place to capture it all! As of now, travel can't be taken care of by Becoming Ultra.
If you answered NO to any of the above, we can't consider you for this project but still hope your journey to Becoming Ultra is an amazing one and would be happy to feature your journey in some other way on the site. Send us an email to
