In The Flow

I sit down for an in-depth reflection on the 2025 Transcontinental Race with my friend Tucker McCrerey to recap the highs, lows, highlights, gear, and lessons learned from racing 3,000 miles from Spain to Romania.

I'm fascinated with conversations exploring the intersections of creativity and athletics. One of the people who inspires me in both of these realms immensely is my close friend, Tucker McCrerey. An exceptional mountain athlete and architect, Tucker and I live together and motivate each other to push ourselves both athletically and creatively, so we felt like it was time to record one of our many conversations. We ramble on about the highs and struggles of sport, performance, work, and creativity in what we hope is a relatable conversation to anyone motivated by a creatively driven relationship to sport.

Neve, Italian for snow, is a portable, real food fuel born from Nora Fierman's passion for endurance sport in the mountains. A lifelong skier, Nora wanted to change the game around how endurance skiers fuel. Neve is a little pouch of goodness, made from foods like beets, tart cherries, and boysenberries and is the perfect companion for any adventure. Nora and I are incredibly aligned in our philosophies around nutrition, fueling, and meaningful movement in the mountains. We dive into a wide ranging conversation covering her background in sport and struggles with fueling her own sporting adventures, the challenges of starting a food business, and rambles on sport and life and beyond.

The Tour Divide is perhaps the most renowned offroad ultra-cycling race in the world. Spanning 2,700 miles from Canada to Mexico along the Continental Divide, it's an extremely challenging endurance event that many highly experienced adult participants take years to complete successfully. Edyn Teitge just became the youngest ever finisher of the race at age 15 on his rookie attempt, finishing in 19 days, 13 hours in a particularly difficult year. I've known and coached Edyn for the past few years, seeing him grow as an athlete and human and it was amazing to see him have such an incredible ride as a fellow recipient of the Be Good Foundation's bikepacking scholarship this year. We sit down and talk about his experience on the Divide, the ups and downs, bike setup, and goals for the future. You can follow Edyn on Instagram @edynteitge.

Stay tuned for my upcoming documentary on my Tour Divide preparation and race experience coming this fall.

The pod is back. After a long winter and a lot of work and prep I'm excited to share my biggest adventure project yet: the 2,700 mile offroad and self-supported ultra cycling race known as Tour Divide. Starting in Banff, Canada and finishing at the U.S./Mexico border in just two weeks, my friend and filmmaker Rob Carter are working on a documentary to share the spirit of such a challenge. In this conversation, Rob interviews me about my prep, the impetus for signing up, what the race entails, and the film project we are working on.

Hello. Hi. It's me, Jackson. I'm checking back in on the podcast to share some evolved thoughts and ramblings on my current approach and philosophy around performance nutrition for mountain athletes. Subscribe for free to The Mountain Athlete Journal: http://mountainathlete.substack.com

Rob Carter is an exercise physiologist, triathlete, endurance nerd, and fellow electronic music fan. We talk through a wide range of topics including the double-edged sword that is Strava, doping in triathlon, Fred Again.., finding meaning in sport beyond pure performance, and many more. To learn more about all things In The Flow, visit intheflownutrition.com, where you can also schedule a free initial performance nutrition and endurance training consultation.

Winter is upon us and with it the specific nutrition and hydration demands of pushing hard in cold temps. I'm thrilled to have Registered Dietitian Kylee Van Horn on the pod this week to discuss all things fueling, hydration, and strategies for winter endurance sport, plus nutrition philosophies, plant-based and vegan endurance considerations, and more. You can find Kylee at flynutrition.org or on Instagram @flynutrition3.

Winter is here in the Mountain West and that means SKIING! For those of us lucky enough to live near snow and skiable slopes, we must consider the nutrition demands of such activities. Particularly when it comes to backcountry ski touring or ski mountaineering (AKA skimo), there are legitimate safety and performance considerations. So, today on the podcast I re-hash a previous episode that covers everything you might need to know about eating and fueling for backcountry skiing and skimo.
