This episode of the Outside Podcast is brought to you by Honeystinger, making fuel for athletes of all kinds, using delicious honey and organic ingredients.

One of those athletes is extremely laid-back ultra-runner, Courtney DeWaltor.

So every day I wake up and basically I just decide

where I'm gonna go, how far I'm going to go,

and then I let my legs and body and brain decide how big the day is going to be.

If you don't know Courtney by name, maybe you know this theory she inspired.

But in super--distance races running becomes

entirely mental. And once it gets to that point, women have an advantage. The idea

came up when Courtney started winning a bunch of races and now people want to know what's her secret?

And I also I read that you run with a toothbrush.

Just those little disposable ones.

You know, some of the races I do are over 200 miles and it takes me multiple days and you're just,

you are taking in a lot of things like quesadillas and pizza and stuff and so a little

scrub of your teeth can feel really good going into day two, like to remind yourself that you're still a human, I think.

In addition to being incredibly laid back for a world-class athlete,

Courtney is a member of Honeystinger's Hive,

an inclusive community of all kinds of athletes

that's all about learning and helping each other

reach personal goals.

Yeah, so I applied for the hive because I use Honeystinger products. I specifically

like the waffles and the shoes. And because I was already using them, I applied to be a part of the Hive,

which brought me into the fold of this community
