Great podcast for mountain endurance enthusiasts

Sarah is so knowledgeable and super informative! She packs a ton into these episodes. As she recommends, you might want to have a notebook and pen handy as there will be a lot of detailed nutrition info for you to “digest“. Lol. I’m totally upping my endurance game thanks to this cast!
