Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finma Lanson, and in this episode,

we are talking with Nick Thompson, the CEO of the Atlantic and accomplished marathoner and

ultra runner who's got a new book out called The Running Ground. We do talk about that a little bit in

the second half of the conversation, but this one covers a lot of ground. For example, we talk about

use cases for AI and ultra trail running, the concept of technology doping, urban design principles

for run commuting, and some of his fairly low-key favorite races in the sport, including the

escarpment trail run and the twisted branch 100K over in the great state of New York.

Before we get started, though, I've got some brand new news to share.

We've got a new nutrition partner for the show, precision, fuel, and hydration.

Very excited about this one.

It will be with us at least through the end of next year.

I'm here to say, I genuinely think they make best in class sports nutrition products for

our sport.

I've had front row seats many times to some of the best athletes out there using their products

and route to break through dominating performances.

We've got a link in the show notes that takes you straight to their fuel planner for your

upcoming races.

It's one of the many free, super helpful resources that they offer to get you dialed

for whatever big project is next.

And if you end up purchasing product and want to use our code to support the show,

that's always appreciated.

The code is single track, all caps, and it gets you 15% off.
