0:24.5	The champion is here to recount the glory of her course record breaking day, running 2209 in tough
0:31.9	conditions. It was truly a historic performance. And I'm honored that you would come on and share all about it.
0:38.6	We talk about the goal setting around the Western States UTMB double, the recovery and
0:43.4	training in between the two iconic races. We talk about how Katie cultivates focus and preserves
0:49.6	energy during UTMB week. We talk about her sub 2222-hour goal, the rationale behind it and the strategy
0:56.6	to attempt to achieve that mark. We talk about her fearless racing strategy, her composure,
1:03.4	her improvement over time at the race. We talk about the conditions of the day and the strange
1:08.7	attrition in the fields. We talk about Katie's incredible season
1:12.5	and a lot more. Thanks to Katie for being willing to come on. Hope you enjoy the episode.
1:19.6	The free trail podcast is grateful for our presenting partner, the feed, the one-stop shop for all

1:50.9	about two per hour in training. That's about 80 grams of carbs without ever getting the palate fatigue
1:57.4	from fruity flavor gels. Also, when paired with my gnarly hydrate drink mix,
2:02.2	I'm getting about that 100 gram of carbs per hour that's all the rage right now in the sport
2:08.7	and for good reason. I also ordered a couple boxes of pro bars. Those things are super dank
2:14.1	and great as snacks on-the-go meals or as fuel for huge summer days in the alpine.
2:20.7	A big thank you to the feed for their support of free trail.
