Today Peter Bromka and Matt Chittim are joined by new course record holder of the Leadville 100 and one of the best running coaches in the world - David Roche!

  • 2:56 - The Leadville 100 and David's Journey
  • 8:05 - Taking a Step Back from Racing and Embracing Training
  • 14:58 - Incorporating Different Training Modalities and Supplements

  • 27:03 - Going All-In and Finding Inspiration in the 'Pain Cave'
  • 31:37 - The Power of Support and Belief
  • 37:07 - The Unique Dynamic of Coaching in Trail Running
  • 42:25 - The Importance of Communication and Daily Check-Ins
  • 47:13 - Fatigue Resistance and Optimizing Fueling
  • 59:51 - Finding Your Why in Running
