-
- Boa forma
Zach Bitter is a professional endurance athlete, specializing in ultramarathons. He is also a coach and host of the Human Performance Outliers Podcast. He has broken world records for the 100-mile run and the 12-hour run, won four National Championships, and participated on Team USA 100 KM Road three times.
In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of exogenous ketones. There is a lot of hype around these products, so I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Zach brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the world of endurance nutrition. Hopefully this episode can clear up some things if you are looking to utilize ketones for your training or races.
