This episode covers two key race-prep topics: how we’re approaching vert and downhill specificity for Mont Blanc 90K, and our updated go-to guide for fueling and hydration in racing.

We break down vert ratio, gradient-specific training, gut training, why we separate carbs from fluids, and how to think about sodium intake on race day.
