T +1 (Ultra Trail Australia): UTA Race Report & Reflections

In this bonus episode for the T -12 podcast series, we catch up with our guest athlete Brett, less than 48 hours after completing the 100km Ultra Trail Australia. We find out how the race went for him, the ups and downs on the day, as well as how our planned strategies for accommodation, eating the day before the race, and the gut training he’d worked on in the 12 weeks leading up to race day, all turned out. We review what worked well in hindsight, what didn’t, Brett’s key learnings, and what he’d do differently next time.

T-12 is a unique podcast series that follows an athlete's journey as they prepare for race day. Over the final 12 weeks before the big event, we'll look at all aspects of race nutrition, from organising accomdation and race foods, to gut training and hydration, to eating during the taper and the day before the race.
