- Once he did a half marathon, he realized he was a pretty good runner.
- Mike suffered a broken back after a ski accident–following
this, he really got into ultra running.
- 3 weeks into his broken back with a body brace on, he went out and ran half a mile.
- He felt bad, but it didn't hurt, so he started
running every day.

day.

TAKING YOUR BODY TO THE LIMIT
-
Mike recently ran 100 miles
on zero calories.
-
- This is ultimate fat adaptation-you can still eat fatty foods to run while fat adapted.
-
- He originally started running fat-adapted because he had digestive issues while running doing anything else.
- Mike usually only allows himself to eat in a 6 hour window each day.
- The keto diet works very well for ultra athletes.
- He is "bonk-proof" and has a strong stomach.
- Mike eats a lot of meat and eggs, and before a race will also
have an orange.
- He makes sure he's all stoked up on fat, and will have a TBS of coconut oil, too.
- He also finds day-to-day benefits like mental clarity and healthy weight maintenance.
