Josh ran the WY East 50K & Standhope 30K in 2023.   In spite of dominating one race and executing the SAME nutrition plan on the second, he had entirely different outcomes.  This podcast is the result of us talking through why, what happened...and how to fix it.  I have heard your body uses water to digest a meal.  If so, how long does that process take?  Could this have contributed to my cramping at Standhope.  Any data on hydration or nutrition related to acclimating to high elevation.  How long for body to acclimate for exertion, not just comfort? Any data on hydration/nutrition while running with a full bladder/bowels How do you feel about eating the same meals almost every day? Helpful or not helpful I see it as type of mental toughness Best inexpensive blood/food test to determine if there are any foods I should avoid.  If I run in the morning, either fasted or after breakfast I have zero stomach issues.  Often if I run after 4pm, I get massive bloating with tons of burping/farting.  Thoughts?
