He’s also the FKT holder for the Colorado Trail, and has completed two 100+ mile runs with zero calories. One of his biggest keys to success (besides his incredible mindset)? A low carb nutrition strategy. He’s become one of the biggest examples of how powerful a low carb lifestyle can be to running; so much so, that he’s known as the Low Carb Runner. In this episode, Michael and I talk about his inspiring story of how he became an ultra runner, why he decided to go low carb, the science behind it, and a recap of his most recent 24 hour run done without consuming any calories.

What should you be eating as your training for an ultra endurance race? What should your nutrition strategy be during a race? And what are the best things to eat after a long training session? These are the most common questions I get from people who are following my ultra endurance journey. So, I thought making a podcast answering these questions would be super useful for anyone who is looking to dive into how to approach their nutrition. In this episode, I cover nutrition principles for training and races. Specifically, how to approach eating before a training session or a race, during the activity, and when the session is finished. I also cover a little bit of science behind why these principles work for most people, and how you can tweak your nutrition strategy to better accommodate your body and how you handle food. Enjoy the episode, and have fun eating :) Follow Joe on Instagram: @joecorcione

What is it like to run a 200 mile race? In fact, what is it like to run multiple 200 mile races in a three month span? And how the heck do you actually prepare yourself to be able to do that? That's why we brought on today's guest, Hector's Rodriguez, to the Everyday Ultra Podcast. Hector is an ultra-endurance athlete who is one of the only people on Earth to complete one of the hardest challenges in running: The Triple Crown of 200's. The Triple Crown consists of completing three 200+ mile races within 3 months, which is a brutal, yet rewarding accomplishment. On top of that, Hector has completed multiple 100 mile races, 24 hour races, triathlons, and other ultra-endurance events. In this episode, Hector and I discuss the key to building mental toughness, how to bounce back from failure on your endurance events, and how to train yourself to be your best when you're at your worst.
