    Cory: Working for every step at Western States

    Discount for Ketone-IQ! Save 30% off your first subscription order & receive a free six pack of Ketone-IQ with https://ketone.com/TRW Buckle up as Cory takes us back to Western States 100, where he had to  pull his runner from the depths of a low, to finish feeling strong. "I feel like after this I have some fresh perspective and tips that I could bring to an episode, especially from the perspective of pacing someone that has gone from chasing a sub 24 hour goal at the beginning of the day to almost fighting the cutoff with 60km of course ahead of them. We started just after 10pm, and wouldn't be seeing our crew for almost 6 hours. Tyler and I had to totally redo his nutrition plan on the fly, and figure out how to keep him moving to stay far enough ahead of the cutoff. He had a glorious rally, and finished with just under 2 hours to the cutoff.

    May: I Heart Running

    In 2015 May believed she wasn't an athlete, but started walk jogging short distances around a track to try something different. She quickly became obsessed and started the instagram account @i.heart.running to document her new hobby. Like many of us, May most certainly is an athlete and just needed to get over that mental block. She's now run distances up to 50km and is passionate about the sport and the community. She will leave you feeling excited to get out there!  https://smarteatspantry.com discount code LOVETRAILS gets you 25% off your first order!  Find all things from the podcast here! @trailrunningwomenpod  Fine May @i.heart.running The Episode Archive: Patreon
