Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Melanson, and in this

episode, frequent co-host Brett Hornig joins the podcast to talk about his fourth place finish at the

2022, Havillena 100. Now, this isn't just any race recap because one of the things that I appreciate

simultaneously put his coaching hat on and to talk about his experiences in ways that the

listener can apply to their own training and their own running life in general. So in this

conversation Brett talks about being a student of the sport, the people he chatted with and

took advice from in

oriented his lifestyle for this training block, the wise behind nutrition, supplements and

gear that he used on race day, how each lap was executed, as well as how this result affects his mindset moving forward

as a competitive athlete in the sport. Before we get started, this episode is brought to you by

Brett, we're like four days, five days removed from this. How are you feeling? I'm feeling

pretty good, actually. I mean, I'm still pretty tired and my like eating is still all
