Joe Rogan Experience

Zach Bitter is an endurance athlete, ultramarathon runner and coach. He holds the current American 100-mile record at 11:40:55.

[@ImaFattyCat]

Such an underrated podcast, it’s literally a free ticket into the mind of a super athlete and his training methods, I love when joe has athletes on.

[@keepitcoolobama3]

I can’t believe it.... he was my Math teacher in 2014! He left right after that year to take running more serious. I was a freshman at that time. I’m being dead serious. This tripped me out.

[@matttiel619]

Zach is my first cousin! His fears are insane!

[@liveedded]

@@matttiel619 What are his fears? I'm super curious about this, mostly because it seems like an off the cuff remark

[@Lancelliot7]

ObamaMC he was my coach in high school! He just ran the world record in the 100 mile!!! So proud

[@Mckids1000]

that's crazy because me and zach were once hitting the boofta doofta in the dmt city! man we were gettin liiiiiiiiiit!

You forgot William Randolph Hurst

[@davidgriggs5318]

Spot on

[@jopo7996]

This was amazingly informative. I'm just a little disappointed that Joe didn't find out the endurance levels of chickens and coyotes, over long distances. And that's what you call a running joke.

Ohhhhhhhhh snap son!

[@mitchkothe9025]

Zach is a legend! Met him a few times. He’s an incredible guy I’m glad I met him! Go team altra

[@jillroh]

LOL these comments are so surprising! Plot twist: ultra runners are lean. Nature of the beast. He looks completely fine to me. Doesn't look healthy or unhealthy...he just looks normal... You guys are super critical haha

I'm black and I can confirm. We also have extra inches to our penises as well.

[@Ruffpeaksoutfitters]

Zack is a great runner and a great interview. He didn’t make much eye contact but to me, hearing and seeing him many times he just seems a bit nervous. This is a big stage for a lot of people.

[@Dfthg-bz3hp]

He made plenty of eye contact,maybe not much camera eye contact but he was looking at Joe way way more

[@piotrwalendzik6716]

He should invite Scott Jurek in , that would be a good one 🤞💪

[@jakevandecar2921]

He definitely should. I looked up "jre Scott Jurek" and this podcast and the Courtney duawalter popped up.

[@balwc147]

yeah or dean karnazes

[@georgeevie6134]

He should invite Kouros

[@mgm153]

This was a great interview. Thanks for bringing him on!

[@tammywilliamskeefer]

I learned so much from Zach in this podcast! What a beast! Thank you so much for having him on, Joe. Please also have ultra-marathoner Jim Walmsley on sometime.

[@robertj1777]

Does he ever ask this guy about the long standing animosity between him and He-Man?

[@mulchman]

I've been scrolling through laughing at all the comments but this one wins hands down.

[@fitnessflex6469]

Winner

[@claytonholland5608]

Rolling my eyes at all the comments bagging how Zach looks but this comment is fucking gold.

[@mattb8913]

As an ultra-runner I would like to state that Zach looks nothing like the other 99.9% of ultra-runners. I must admit he looks like he could do with some vitamin D but that just the way the dude looks. Just look runners like Jurek, Goggins, Dean K all look good and have been smashing it for years. Also Ultra-runners won't die any earlier, they'll be healthier than most people. I see runners at 24 hour races in there 50s 60s 70s still kicking ass. Some very ignorant comments.

[@TheCrazyCatHouse]

Amen.

[@ardruma]

It's KZbin. Not the most literate or educated bunch.

[@DroptheOne]

As someone who did one 50k once, I say you mountain ultra-runners look like invincible mountain goats.

[@user-ip4hw5hy5y]

These podcasts age like a fine wine

[@Gruesa82]

Joe, you need to have on both Killian Jornet and Jim Walmsely !

[@BarsandNightclubsAU]

He wins the "head is too big for body" award...

[@69philiptraum69]

Ben King him and Maggie Q

[@Bustnneeznutz]

Lol, I think his body is too small for his head! Bet if he quit killing himself running like he does and flirting with death then his body might look how it should.... but I’d say, it would be easy to justify not doing that with running. He doesn’t even look happy to be honest, sucks.

[@reneschoolderman7835]

He looks like a Fallout NPC.

[@colinb3476]

LMFAO

[@chrisjowaisas95]

This is great! Love when there are endurance athletes on JRE.

[@ballac1486]

I would like to pace him on a 100 mile race for the last 10 kilometres😂

[@DiamorphineDeath]

Idk about the most amazing shape ever there dude. Specifically for his needs and demands in his specific niche? Sure. In terms of all around athleticism and virility? No.

[@tomthomsen]

I was dying for Joe to interrupt him and say "look me in the eyes when you speak to me!". I've seen blind people make more eye contact.

[@MasterGuero]

Anyone else just cruise the comments to laugh their ass off.

[@user-ui8sp5th4g]

I haven’t been impressed by an individuals mental/willpower in a very long time. Zach is a absolute monster. It’s amazing what the human mind can achieve. I’ve ran a mile in 7 mins and was all proud. I can not fathom running that same pace 100 times.

[@BeatzSporting]

[@Sqidaedir]

He apparently had someone waiting *snicker* kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnS1lpmQZsSshLs

[@RexKramerDangerSeeker]

Because it takes time for KZbin to process and reupload large videos. This happens every podcast, they never show up right after the livestream ends.

[@kronosouranos9979]

EvergreenOTT6 I think he was running late and had to switch over to the next interview

[@jopo7996]

Good podcast with Zach. I always wonder if doing all these ultra marathons is healthy in the long run.

[@Doorito_]

Another bad pun

[@grassytiger]

Jo Po is anything you do in life always healthy? Basically everything you do can be considered unhealthy, do what makes you happy but know the risks that come with it.

[@Rex_Colt]

Another classic Jo Po comment that went over people's heads. Not your best joke/pun but I'm hoping most of us got it straight away.

Jon Z for real, endurance athletes are the toughest SOBs on earth. Guys in Special Operations are all endurance athletes, whith a mix of strength and speed. Do you think the SEALs want a body builder, or a competitive swimmer, i think we all know the answer.

Zach likes running and Keto. He looks sickly and bogged down. Courtney gives her body what it asks for and puts enjoying the process first. She looks healthy, refreshed and ready to go. Interesting.

[@DiamorphineDeath]

That’s not a suitable thing in terms of objectivity there dude. Bitter could look in a negative way to you if he ate anything, and Courtney might look better if she ate low carb/high fat. Genetic aspects can make a huge difference, if he genetic profile looks different and allows her to remain more durable with dietary needs/wants, then why would Bitter have to conform to something not suitable for him because you think it would “make him look better.” Grow up brah

My buddy Doobie from the AT just completed a 32 miler a few weeks ago. I'm impressed cause we smoked tooooo much weed and I didn't think his lungs could do it. Now I know it doesn't even matter. anyways I need new running shoes now, thanks for having this guy on Joe.

So funny that Zach took wanting to take a nap in the afternoon as a sign his diet was failing! The sleep guy Joe just talked to said that the evidence currently points to bi-phasic sleep being how we're designed. I.e. we're meant to sleep at night and have a nap in the afternoon! In other words this guy was perfectly healthy and got worried about it, then arbitrarily decided his diet was the cause!

My uncle ran the JFK 50 with barefoot Ted a few times along with a 50 miler in Massanutten and 100 miler in Wasatch.. Said he was a complete asshole and every time he saw him he was bitching about how the trail was tearing up his feet... He also beat him by 45+ minutes in every race they ran in... At a certain point you have to ask yourself "is this really worth it?" Or "am I just a dumbass?"...
