Episode 113: 3 Elite Runners on Fueling for Workouts, Long Runs, and Races

Today you're going to hear from three Ultramarathoners on how they fuel for races, what their post long run fueling looks like, and how things might be different if they were training for shorter races.

It's helpful to study ultramarathoners when it comes to fueling, even if you have no interest in running ultra distances, because it's here that fueling becomes virtually as important as the training itself. It doesn't matter how fit you are if you don't fuel well as an ultra runner...

We're doing this today because we're celebrating the relaunch of our fueling program Finish Strong. I've added new material, updated our fueling schedules, included more expert interviews, and there's now an extra discount for Tailwind Nutrition. You can see all the details of Finish Strong here.

Abby Hall placed 8th at CCC earlier this year (which is known as UTMB's sister race). Anna Mae Flynn won the Speedgoat 50k this year and Abby Levene placed 9th at this year's Way Too Cool 50k.

  1. How do you fuel during an ultramarathon? Give us an overview of what that looks like.
  2. When you finish a long run, what does your post-run fueling look like?
  3. How would you fuel different for workouts and long runs if you were training for a shorter event like, say a 10k?
