THE TRAVIS MACY SHOW

194. Train and Race Like a Pro with Josiah, Sullivan, and Porter Middaugh


Listen Later

I’m stoked to introduce you to three incredible athletes and good friends from the Colorado endurance scene: Josiah Middaugh, and his sons, Porter and Sullivan. You’ve probably heard Josiah on the show before — he’s an XTERRA World Champion and one of the most respected voices in endurance sports. Now, his sons are stepping up and following in his footsteps, and it’s pretty inspiring to see.

We dive into what it means to fuel like a pro — both in racing and in everyday life. From training in the snow-packed streets of Colorado to chasing PRs in hot Arizona marathons, these guys are doing the work and bringing a ton of wisdom to the table. We cover:

  • Why ultra-low-carb diets might work for Arctic expeditions (but not your next triathlon)
  • The importance of keeping your fueling simple, consistent, and dialed
  • How elite athletes balance performance with real life: work, parenting, and yes — mac & cheese leftovers
  • Tips for training your gut, staying flexible on race day, and using fueling as a performance enhancer, not an afterthought

Whether you're chasing a podium or just trying to make your long runs suck a little less, there's a lot here for you. Let's go!
