- Zach Bitter's Blueprint for Running Faster for Longer and How to Have Longevity in Ultrarunning
Zach Bitter is one of the most experienced and dialed-in 100-mile athletes in the sport — and in this episode, he breaks down the training, fueling, pacing, and mindset strategies that have kept him performing at a high level for more than a decade.
This isn’t just a recap of big races. It’s a deep dive into the decisions, experiments, and principles that shape Zach’s approach to ultrarunning — and the lessons any runner can pull from someone who’s spent years testing what actually works.
Here’s what we dig into:
How Zach approaches pacing 100 miles — and how to find your own sustainable rhythm
The fueling strategy that helped him consistently take in nearly 96g of carbs per hour
Why he shifted to a high-carbohydrate approach after years of doing things differently
The value of running intuitively instead of being glued to data
How he structures big training blocks to stay consistent long-term
How he decides when to push, when to hold back, and how he manages risk on race day
The project driving his motivation now: completing 10 sub–12-hour 100 milers
What he’s learned about longevity and staying competitive over time
This episode offers a ton of insight into what really goes into improving, adapting, and staying in the sport for the long haul.

1 hr 19 min - Dr. Alyssa Olenick on Ultramarathon Training Tips, Why Speedwork Matters, and Balancing Life and Training
If you’re an ultrarunner who wants to get faster, train smarter, avoid burnout, and actually reach your potential, this episode is a must-listen.
Dr. Alyssa Olenick — exercise physiologist, hybrid athlete, 17-time ultramarathon finisher, and creator of The Lyss Method — joins the show for one of the most insightful, science-backed, and refreshingly honest conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast.
Alyssa doesn’t just talk theory. She lives this stuff: running ultras while running a business, earning her PhD, navigating injury, rebuilding her speed, and transforming her mindset through some of the most demanding seasons of her life.
In this episode, we dive into:
The counterintuitive strategy that made Alyssa dramatically faster
Why most ultrarunners are leaving huge performance gains on the table
How ultras reshape your identity — and why that matters for training
The “life-load” mistake almost every busy runner makes
The neuroscience of going long
The hidden cost of being a high-performing runner
How to design a race season that builds fitness instead of destroying it
The mindset shift that separates long-term healthy runners from burnt-out ones
If you’re training for a big goal, trying to balance real life with big mileage, or simply want to understand the science and mindset behind becoming a stronger, more resilient runner — this episode will change how you train.
Huge thank you to Alyssa for coming on the show!

1 hr 41 min - How to Train Your Gut for Ultramarathons: Avoid Stomach Issues, Bonking, and Fuel Like a Pro
Stomach issues are the top cause for DNF’s in an ultra. And most people get stomach issues because they don’t train their gut to handle the large amount of carbs we have to eat out there.
On top of that, with high carb getting all the hype, if you want to try out a high carb strategy, you will have to train your gut to be able to handle more carbs.
Because when you do that, you’re able to perform better, avoid stomach issues, and finish your race strong.
So, in this episode, we give you the bulletproof method on how to train your gut to fuel like a pro in your next ultramarathon.
Enjoy the episode, fuel well, and thank you for listening!

3 hr 24 min - 100-Miler Training Principles: The Most Important Things to Focus On in Training
Training for a 100-mile ultramarathon isn’t just about piling on the miles — it’s about building the right foundation that makes your body, mind, and strategy bulletproof on race day.
In this episode, Joe breaks down the exact framework he used while preparing for the Kodiak 100, explaining how to identify your biggest limiter and structure training around what really matters.Whether you’re chasing your first buckle or aiming for a PR, you’ll learn how to craft a plan that fits your life, maximizes your strengths, and eliminates the mistakes that sabotage most runners.
What you'll learn:
The 4 key training pillars that determine success in every 100-miler—and how to know which one you need to prioritize.
How to personalize your plan based on your background, schedule, and experience level (instead of blindly copying others).
Why most runners overtrain in one area and completely miss the real limiter holding them back.
The simple diagnostic test Joe uses to decide if you’re fitness-limited, durability-limited, or mindset-limited.
How to build an unbreakable engine that lasts through the final miles, even when your legs want to quit.
A major training mistake that quietly sabotages endurance progress—and how to fix it immediately.
The hidden link between strength training and race-day performance that most ultrarunners overlook.
How to build mental resilience for when everything starts to unravel at mile 70 (and what separates those who finish strong from those who fade).
- Joe’s personal insights from racing 200-milers and coaching hundreds of ultrarunners—and how those lessons shaped his approach for Kodiak.
