Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.

All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Bitter.

And today I have a solo episode for you, which for those of you who are new to the show means I am going

to go over a couple of topics or questions that got sent in from the listeners. So as you go

through this one, just keep in mind, if you have a topic or question that you want me to address

on a future episode like this, feel free to reach out to me and let me know what that is.

I will oftentimes put out a call for these things on social media as well. So keep an eye

out there if you want. Otherwise, you can shoot me an email at HPO podcast at gmail.com or

reach out to me on social media at Zach Bitter on Instagram and at Z Bitter on Twitter

are the best ways to do that.

Before we get rolling with the questions, I do have one thing that I want to chat about a

little bit that wasn't a listener question, but a topic that I thought was really interesting.

In fact, I actually turned it into my first newsletter of the year.

So this year I'm planning on sending out a newsletter about once per week with either a topic

or some updates that I think are important, fun, interesting.

So if you want to hear about that stuff, you can sign up for that newsletter by going to my website at Zachbitter.com. And then on the top, there are some tabs up there. One of them is called newsletter. If you click on that tab, it'll take you to sign up for that. And then you'll get the newsletter sent right to your inbox as well as the link to the live document on the website if you want to read it through the browser as

well.

But the topic I addressed on that first one is actually to do with like pacing and crewing

and just like some of the thoughts that I had about that after this last weekend's race

that my wife did the Bandera 100 kilometer.

And between the two, the pacing one was the thing I found really interesting because like a lot of ultramarathons nowadays or races even in general
