On this episode, the boys had on special guest and ultra-running legend Zach Bitter! Zach has claimed world records at the 100 mile and 12 hour events. We heard more about his prolific career on this podcast and how he trains for huge efforts like this.
Zach wasn't always a high-carb runner. In fact, in one of his record attempts he only took about 40g of carbs per hour! He is now on the high-carb train and explained that decision. We also got some insight on how he recovers after huge efforts, his thoughts on backyard ultras, and more!
