In the second part of Rick's episode, we start off by hearing what habit Rick learned to be a better runner. Not surprisingly learning to slow down is one of the main game changers. Rick tells us what works for him for hydration while doing the long ultra's. Plus he tells us about a 3 tier nutrition system that you must hear if you plan on doing these longer runs. Developed by a renowned coach, Jason Coup, this system could really help if you are in need of a nutrition plan. Plus Rick talks to us about his wife's amazing Banana bread with help from the Minimalist Baker, link below. Plus we talk more about Rick's podcast, New Leaf Running Podcast, who he has for guests and when he plans to start up again. These two episodes are jammed packed with great tips and tricks for runners and we hope you enjoy them as much as we did recording.
