About this episode

This episode discusses how to troubleshoot nutrition and stomach issues during ultramarathons.

Nutrition can make or break an ultramarathon. In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most frustrating parts of ultra running: what happens when your fueling strategy stops working. From nausea and stomach issues to palate fatigue, hydration mistakes, and struggling to stay consistent.
