In episode 116 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, ultra runner Kabuki Snyder shares her powerful story, from struggling with disordered eating as a young ballerina to training for one of the toughest races out there: the Cocodona 250.

We dive into how she approaches ultra running nutrition, training, and balancing life and work with her endurance goals.

Kabuki and I discuss:

Growing up in Ghana and how early memories shaped her relationship with food
Transitioning from ballet and body image struggles to finding joy in ultra running
Fueling strategies for single day trail races, stage races like Lapland and Atacama, and other long races like the Cocodona 250
What real-life training and fueling looks like with a 4am wakeup call and a global work schedule
How she has prepared for 250 miles with spreadsheets, snacks, and strong community support

Key Takeaways:

You don’t need to “look like a runner” to be one
Ultra running nutrition must be flexible, practiced, and personalized
“Real food” can be part of your race plan
Fueling enough everyday and surrounding exercise is non-negotiable
You can balance ultra running goals with a full-time job (yes, really!)

🎧 Tune in to learn more! Also, a huge congrats to Kabuki on finishing the Cocodona 250 in 109:26:29, despite extremely challenging conditions!
