Coming to you from Week 8 of training — a phase where the tweaks are subtle but powerful. I’m increasing my run volume without adding time to my training week, and I am paying close attention to my adaptation. 

In this episode, I share exactly how I’m doing it — including details on my workouts and how I’m approaching the physical prep for El Cruce. But more importantly, I share what this race is really about for me.

We dive into my nutrition evolution — from liquid calories and gels to adaptogens and supergreens. I’m peeling back the curtain on how I train my gut, what I’m supplementing with, and how I fuel long days on the bike and trail. I also share how I found Blank's and “The Will Special” — a game-changer in my Saturday sessions.

This episode is also about identity — and how I’ve learned to dissolve the boxes I’ve put myself in, including the one labeled “vegan.” There’s an honesty here I couldn’t avoid, and I’m trusting that living with integrity means listening inward, even when it disrupts expectations.

This is a story of trust, transformation, and tuning in. Let’s go deeper.
