Episode 126: Jane Maus' Mountain Training Mindset - From the Grand Teton FKT to Black Canyon 50K Champion

Jane Maus is coming off a huge early-season win at Black Canyon 50K — but her story is about far more than a finish line.

From battling chronic pre-race nerves to chasing the Grand Teton FKT, making the Short Trail World Championships Team, and stepping into a new partnership with Arc’teryx, Jane’s last two years have been anything but linear.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why she struggles to even make it to start lines
• The move from Salt Lake City to Boulder and entering the “Boulder Bubble”
• Working with coach Rick Floyd and managing chronic injury
• Racing Jazmine Lowther for the Grand Teton FKT
• Finding flow on technical terrain
• Why 50K racing currently suits her body better than 100-milers
• Kicking off 2026 with a Black Canyon win

Jane’s story is about fitness built in the mountains, confidence built through racing, and learning to be competitive with your teammates.
