In this episode I team up with Kate from RunUltra to speak with David.

We talk about his historic race at the Leadville 100 where he not only won his debut 100 miler, but actually broke Matt Carpenters 19 year old course record in the process! Dropping it from 15:42 to 15:26!

We talk about his training and preparation leading into this race. We discuss his specific approach involving numerous interventions designed to give David the edge on the long standing record. We discuss carbon shoes, carb intake, bicarb and tons more!

David is a very open guy and we talk about the issues he's had this year after his road accident and suffering from abuse online.

A great listen with lots of valuable insights!
