Zion 100 Nutrition Recap with Sports Dietitian Julie Shobe

Welcome to Episode 90 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring sports dietitian and ultra runner Julie Shobe, MS RDN. Julie is a second-time guest on the show, and I brought her back to tell me all about her recent Zion 100 mile finish. In case you missed it, we did an in-depth episode (number 69) all about how to fuel an ultra marathon. So think of today's episode as a sequel, where instead of general ultra nutrition advice we talk specifically about how Julie created her own fueling plan, what that looked like during training, and how everything played out for her on race day. And as we all know when it comes to these longer endurance events, things rarely go according to plan! A large reason why Julie wanted to do a 100 miler was to have that personal experience for her client work, since she had never run one before. She shares all the lessons she learned, including things about her nutrition that surprised her, what didn’t go as well as she had hoped, plus some funny stories. We also go off on a few tangents, and even touch on the recent drama about Spring Energy’s Awesome Sauce. I hope you enjoy this episode and find it useful, especially for those of you training for ultras!
