#006: Mike McKnight - Becoming Unbreakable
Michael McKnight is a professional ultra marathon runner and running coach. Some of his accomplishments include winning several 200-mile races, running the fastest known time on the 500-mile Colorado Trail, and being the first person to run 100 miles without consuming any calories. He also recently won the Cocodona 250 race, finishing in 69 hours. He currently lives in Northern Utah with his wife Sarah, his son Kilian, and his daughter Oakley.
In this episode we talk about about Mike's journey from breaking his back to breaking ultramarathon records, his low-carb keto nutrition approach to running, winning 200-mile races, how he's built an unbreakable mindset, and much more.
