Zach Bitter is best known for his 100 mile record in 2019 that was actually the world record at the time, and now still stands as the American male 100 mile record. In this episode we talk about his transition into low carbohydrate eating, why it works for him, and how he eats on a daily basis to maintain hard efforts.

Zach likes to periodize his carbohydrate intake depending on his training demands. We talk about when and why he choses to up his carbohydrate intake both during training as well as in his diet.

We go over how he likes to implement exogenous ketones, electrolytes, and much more.

This is my first episode out with a product creator. I'm fascinated with product innovation, especially during these last few years. The sports nutrition landscape is certainly not stagnant right now. Hyperlyte Liquid Performance is a new brand with a simple formulation and mission; to keep runners fueled and properly hydrated without breaking the bank. With a higher sodium concentration than most brands, this product is great for those who lose a lot of fluid and sodium.

Emory shares his story and is an ultra runner himself. He also talks about how he came up with the formula and how he has approached sponsoring some of the bigger names in the ultra running space.

You can find his flagship product here:

You can also find the brand on instagram under the same name.

I really enjoyed this one and I hope you do too!
