100 Mile & 12 Hour World Record - My Approach To Nutrition And Race Fueling

[@dombullock2930]

This is such good advice! Thanks so much for sharing Zach! Helped me a lot in running my 12 hour race and to get an understanding of how to fuel my marathons and ultra races in the future.

Super stuff, thanks a mil for sharing your info. It gives a great insight, as well as piece of mind. I've preparing for my first 35mile run this coming weekend. Its a personal goal, to run my age. I've been following a low carb diet for a few months now but been more keto focused of recent. Really enjoying the fact I'm not hooked to sugar anymore, and loving the fact that I can run long on body fat. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, it travels far. All the best with your training and up coming events!!!

Hey man! Big fan! I'm a type 1 diabetic cross country skier and am just getting into the ketogenic diet so I can really nail my blood sugar levels. Been doing it for a week now and I already feel way better. So thanks! You were definitely part of the inspiration to get into this. Anyways, quick question. It seems like during your race you strictly fuelled with carbohydrates. Are you concerned with getting back into ketosis as quickly as possible after using all these carbs? Or are you not too concerned with that? Thanks!

What do you feel is the correlation between hydration and fat burning performance ?

[@mshparber]

You say you are especially low on carbs during a recovery. How about replenishing glycogen stores right after your competition?

[@ThePoluka2000]

Most people don't seem to need much time to replenish glycogen even if they are eating low or zero carb.

[@ZachBitterUltra]

I am not as concerned about replenishing glycogen after a goal race like this one, because I will not be doing anything taxing for at least a few days if not weeks. If I were to do a big workout or lower key race and have another workout shortly after I would be more inclined to focus on replenishing glycogen through carbs.

Have you tried Matcha instead for a caffeine calm and high Thiamine?

[@ZachBitterUltra]

I have tried it. Good stuff. The yerba mate has thiamine as well I believe.

[@joeyhinton2624]

Zach Bitter Matcha as a lot as well as chlorophyll, which is great for oxygenating RBC. Helps with Hermetic level. Natural EPO ;) do you take chlorophyll?
