Silverton, Colorado, preparing for the 2022 UTMB. Before we get started, though, this episode is brought to you

by Narly Nutrition.

NARLY is a sports nutrition company based here in my hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah.

I use their tropical orange-flavored fuel 2-0 drink mix on workout days and long runs,

and I use their chocolate-flavored plant protein powder in my post-run recovery shakes,

as well as mixed into my oatmeal at breakfast on most days.
