Coach Ashley Paulson

Ashley Paulson lives in St. George, Utah where she can train outdoors all year long on beautiful trails surrounded by stunning views. 

Her longest distance to date is 135 miles which she completed twice at Badwater 135 where she holds the female course record and was the 2022 Women’s Champion and 2023 Overall Champion. Constantly pushing her own boundaries, Ashley is now training for the Cocodona 250 which is a 250-mile trail race in Northern Arizona in May 2024. 

Ashley’s career and coaching philosophy can be described with one word, “funsistency,” where she fuses together FUN and CONSISTENCY. From a casual 5k to a grueling 135-mile run in the desert, every run is a ‘fun run’ to Ashley. Her enthusiasm for running infects all those who are coached by her and 

they find themselves pushing their own boundaries and accomplishing more than they ever thought possible.  

Fun fact: Ashley ran 9 miles to the hospital to give birth to her son. 

Ashley is one of the Coaches for the 2024 Zion 100-Mile Challenge and will be hosting her virtual group coaching sessions on Thursdays from 9am – 10am PT.
