In The Flow

The pod is back. After a long winter and a lot of work and prep I'm excited to share my biggest adventure project yet: the 2,700 mile offroad and self-supported ultra cycling race known as Tour Divide. Starting in Banff, Canada and finishing at the U.S./Mexico border in just two weeks, my friend and filmmaker Rob Carter are working on a documentary to share the spirit of such a challenge.

In this conversation, Rob interviews me about my prep, the impetus for signing up, what the race entails, and the film project we are working on.

The Wylde Beet is the vision of one of my best friends, Sloan Storey. A plant-based food truck turned cafe that has a simple mission: feed people good food with the community and a greater impact in mind. It's off to a killer start, and I wanted to bring Sloan on to share in more depth the background, story, and mission behind the Beet.

Hello. Hi. It's me, Jackson. I'm checking back in on the podcast to share some evolved thoughts and ramblings on my current approach and philosophy around performance nutrition for mountain athletes.

This week on the show I'm sharing my top 5 tips to help plant-based athletes dial in their nutrition for health and performance. In this short episode I'll cover some essential considerations, including:

1. know your "why"
2. prioritize energy availability and sync your nutrition with your training
3. periodize fiber intake
4. track bloodwork and keep a food journal
5. be aware of nutrients and supplements of concern

Winter is upon us and with it the specific nutrition and hydration demands of pushing hard in cold temps. I'm thrilled to have Registered Dietitian Kylee Van Horn on the pod this week to discuss all things fueling, hydration, and strategies for winter endurance sport, plus nutrition philosophies, plant-based and vegan endurance considerations, and more.

You can find Kylee at flynutrition.org or on Instagram @flynutrition3.

Winter is here in the Mountain West and that means SKIING! For those of us lucky enough to live near snow and skiable slopes, we must consider the nutrition demands of such activities. Particularly when it comes to backcountry ski touring or ski mountaineering (AKA skimo), there are legitimate safety and performance considerations. So, today on the podcast I re-hash a previous episode that covers everything you might need to know about eating and fueling for backcountry skiing and skimo.
