Episode 126: Jane Maus' Mountain Training Mindset - From the Grand Teton FKT to Black Canyon 50K Champion
About this episode
Jane Maus shares her journey from overcoming pre-race nerves to becoming a Black Canyon 50K champion and pursuing the Grand Teton FKT.
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.
