Episode notes

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P interviews Team Endurance Nation member Sabra Gonzalez on her first Ultra (Pine Mountain Ultra). You can get more UltraRun information from Endurance Nation online here: www.endurancenation.us/ultrarun

Key Talking Points:

Key Learning: There is an Ultra running technique...downhill smaller steps....uphill running controlling effort / heart rate while maintaining speed.
Ultra Run Nutrition was different than triathlons. Sabra ate more real food than gels/bars/etc; baked potato in little bites; liquid nutrition for calories and sodium. Even potato chips (salty).
Key Equipment: A Nathan hydration vest
Training Challenges: Low points were many, but in retrospect they were milestones on the journey. The back to back weekends were the confidence builders.
Recovery Tips: Recovery boots, epsom salt bath and foam rolling.
Mantra: PROVE IT
