Join endurance athletes Smurf & Smurfette and their special guests as they talk through all things endurance sport, whether it be training, nutrition, balance, equipment, racing and much much more!

On this week's podcast, we talk with world class ultra runner Zach Bitter. In particular, we dive deep in to Zach's philosophies around coaching including;

  • Where he is at with his planning for his trans America run
  • His career as a teacher and how those skills transfer in to coaching
  • Differentiation of programs and sessions for individual athletes
  • Managing the training load and programs of athletes when taking in to account their life circumstances
  • Zach's nutrition philosophies and how they influence his coaching methodologies
  • Training for a 50k compared to a 50 miler, 100 milers or even longer ultra
  • Research in to LCHF and how our knowledge and understanding of LCHF Endurance has developed since the FASTER Study
  • The limitations of research and how athletes can use lab research regarding nutrition to maximise their performance
  • Zach's next goals through the end of 2021 and in to 2022
