Best fuel for trail & ultra races (eat like a pro! Advice from Emelie Forsberg & more pros)

What are the best things to eat before, during and after a trail running race or ultra? And what's the weirdest food you can get at an aid station?

Last month I was at the Pikes Peak Marathon in Colorado interviewing some of the world’s best mountain athletes about their race nutrition strategies, including race winner Dakota Jones, Skyrunning champion Emelie Forsberg and coaches Max King and Sage Canaday.

Also in this film, find out which food Emelie really didn’t like, plus, I meet two regular American racers who blew my mind with their food choices. I still don’t really know if they’re joking or not, so if you do, let me know in the YouTube comments below this film.

Subscribe if you haven’t already so you don’t miss out on my next film,I’m going to be LIVE at the Ring of Steall Skyrace this Saturday 15th of September, it’s the 5th in the Golden Trails Series before the grand finale.

So I’ll be chatting to the world’s best mountain runners like Kilian Jornet and Marc Lauenstein, Ruth Croft, Laura Orgue and Holly Page.

Look out for the timings on social media and join me if you can!
