From Trail Miles to High Carbs: The Hyperlyte Story with Co-Founder Jeremy Bohnett
About this episode
Jeremy Bohnett discusses his transition from long-distance hiking to ultra-marathons and the founding of Hyperlyte Liquid Performance.
This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we’re joined by Jeremy Bohnett , the co-founder of Hyperlyte Liquid Performance . Jeremy’s journey is a fascinating transition from the world of long-distance thru-hiking to the high-intensity realm of 100-mile ultra-marathons. We dive into the "why" behind Hyperlyte , a nutrition company born out of the need to simplify the complicated world of endurance fueling. Jeremy breaks down the science of their high-carb, high-sodium formulas and why they chose an "authentic, messy" brand identity that reflects the reality of trail running over a polished corporate image. Whether you’re curious about the mental shift from walking across the country to running 100 miles, or you're looking for a better way to manage your race-day gut, this conversation with Jeremy is packed with entrepreneurial grit and trail wisdom.
