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

episode, Jeff Peltier returns to the show. If you're a long time listener of the podcast, you will

probably recall our first conversation a little over two years ago. Jeff was coming off a thrilling

second place finish at the Moab 240 where he nearly chased down Jesse Haynes for the win.

We got to know him in that episode. Here we focus on one of his areas of expertise,

and that is the world of trail running content creation, and more specifically, running YouTube.

We get into topics like David Roche's vlog series in the lead up to Western States this year,

why personality-led channels beat brand-owned media,

and why the YouTube platform rewards long-term storytelling over one-off pieces.

This episode of the single track podcast is brought to you by precision, fuel, and hydration.

One of the biggest nutritional shifts for me has been dialing an hourly carb, sodium, and fluid rates based on sweat rate, race conditions, goals.

And what I really appreciate about precision's role in this is that they don't push a one-size-fits-all product.

Instead, they start with their fuel and hydration planner, which takes a few minutes to complete and gives you a clear,

personalized plan for your next race or long effort. So if you've ever wondered, you know,

am I underfueling, overhydrating, why is this falling apart late? That planner is the best

place to start the course correction. If you want to check it out, go to precisionhydration.com

some much needed clarity to ultra running nutrition yeah so one of the we talked about this offline and I think it's a great topic to discuss

online to lead off this, this episode, just how impressed you were with the way David

Roche rolled out his content before the Western States 100.
