Send us Fan MailIn this episode we talk with Tara Dower about:Nutrition before, during and post FKTs vs UltramarathonsHow working with a nutritionist can take the guesswork out of race prepTara Dower is a professional ultrarunner, who you probably also know for crushing the overall FKT on the Appalachian Trail in late 2024. Next up for Tara in 2025 is the iconic Western States 100 as a result of her Golden Ticket 2nd place performance at Black Canyon 100k. Tara also recently signed a record-breaking deal with Altra, a stunning example of her incredible rise in the sport. Tara has an incredible list of results and accolades, and says her favorite distance to tackle is the 100 miler, because it presents so many possibilities for adventure, but she’s no stranger to setting FKTs, with records on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, Benton MacKaye Trail and the Colorado Trail. Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis and treatment.Connect w/ Tara: IG: instagram.com/tara.dowerYouTube: youtube.com/@taratreksDNF Diaries: audacy.com/podcast/dnf-diaries-06c3a/episodesMentioned:First Endurance Ultragen: amzn.to/3DSSmV9Injinji Socks: amzn.to/420h6CKSaltStick: amzn.to/3Fyi55GPH Salt Capsules: amzn.to/42103ACSIS Gels: amzn.to/42d1ihnSIS BetaFuel Chews: amzn.to/42edvCvMaurten BiCarb: Shop The Feed Tara's Favorite Gear from the AT FKT: youtube.com/watch?v=cX_67jICdfkMore about caffeine:Episode 101 w/ Dr. Bryan Saunders: Caffeine, Genetics & Athletic Performance: nutritional-revolution.com/podcasts/caffeine-supplementation-exercise-performance-genetics/Can Caffeine Help Sleep Deprived Runners? nutritional-revolution.com/can-caffeine-help-sleep-deprived-runners/Does Caffeine Improve Performance? nutritional-revolution.com/does-caffeine-really-improve-performance/Southbound AT FKT InfoMORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → [email protected] in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?
