Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Milanson, and this is another

edition of the Long Run Archives. This time, I'm joined by Brett Hornig and Leah Yingling to recap

the Lulu Lemon-backed further event, which took place outside of Palm Springs, California, about a week ago.

It was equal parts interesting from performance, research, technology, marketing,

and lifestyle standpoints. And we touch on a lot of that in this episode through the lens

of Leah's experience logging 400 miles over the six-day event and Brett helping crew her

during that time frame. No doubt many of you were glued to the live

tracker for all the athletes out there, Mike McMonigle's photojournalism and some of the reporting

from outside and I run far. Hopefully this episode adds another interesting angle to one of the

more unique events we've seen in the running sphere in at least a few years.

Before we get started, though, thanks to NAC for supporting this episode.

I've been in the ultra-running game long enough to have had many races hampered by GI issues,

and I've been on more or less a nutritional quest the last two to three years trying to figure things out.

I came across NAC nutrition about a year ago,

and using their ultra-energy products showed me that the problems I was having were optional.

You can solve the equation and get closer to your potential in the sport with the right stuff.

Whether you prefer drink mixes, purees, waffles or bars. NAC has it all.

And most importantly, they've crafted it precisely to the needs of an ultra runner.

So if you're interested, head over to their website, knack.com, and use code single track 15

And with that, let's get to the show.

All right.
