I often get some question about the amount of food an athlete needs to eat when training for an ultra - either "Why am I always hungry?" or "Do I really need to eat this much?" While there are a large range of responses to this, it makes sense that you'd have to eat a lot in a big training cycle - and not just on your heavy training days. In this video I broke down why with some basic math, using myself as an example. ----- Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠50k Training...

I'm joined on this episode by Brian Passenti! I met Brian a few months ago at a UESCA Ultrarunning Conference and wanted to get him on the podcast to talk about everything ultramarathon. Brian has a long history as an endurance athlete, running everything from track to Ironmans to 200-milers. Unsurprisingly, he has great advice on how we can train well and get creative with our planning to make it fit - even when life's a mess. Enjoy! ----- Links: Watch on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠50k...
