Description
It's one of our all-time favorite episodes after a whirlwind week! The main topic was David's race at the McDowell Mountain 50 Miler, which we use to talk about a ton of different lessons for training and racing. We're talking pre-race meals, pacing, dealing with cramps, what comes after "failure," fueling and hydration, pacing, and supershoes for trails. Plus lots of training thoughts! Outside of running, we touch on everything from how to think about race trips as vacations to the perils of popping champagne bottles. Warning: if you don't shake the bottle enough, you are risking unleashing the cork only to have a trickle emerge, all while the crowd laughs. Let's all use the holidays to practice this skill! Leave out some bottles for Santa. And there were so many other awesome discussions! Topics: Leo's first words, Spotify Wrapped love, granny gear climbing, dealing with adversity in races, food doping, stories from the California International Marathon, training for marathons, more UTMB controversy, AI content at Sports Illustrated, follow-up on post-exercise ketones, NCAA champion training approaches, shoe previews from The Running Event, and hot takes.
