He picked up running. Once he did a half marathon, he realized he was a pretty good runner. Mike suffered a broken back after a ski accident–following this, he really got into ultra running. 3 weeks into his broken back with a body brace on, he went out and ran half a mile. He felt bad, but it didn't hurt, so he started running every day. He recovered very quickly and began running 10+ miles every day. Trail running really appealed to him and he got hooked. He is also the winner of the Ultra Running Triple Crown: he had the fastest cumulative time over the Bigfoot 200, the Tahoe 200, and the Moab 240 in 2017. In 2018, he actually won each race individually as well. This was his breakout. He ran just under 7 days. FAT-ADAPTED RUNNING Mike recently ran 100 miles on zero calories. This is ultimate fat adaptation-you can still eat fatty foods to run while fat adapted. He originally started running fat-adapted because he had digestive issues while running doing anything else. Mike usually only allows himself to eat in a 6 hour window each day. The keto diet works very well for ultra athletes. He is "bonk-proof" and has a strong stomach. Mike eats a lot of meat and eggs, and before a race will also have an orange. He makes sure he's all stoked up on fat, and will have a TBS of coconut oil, too. He also finds day-to-day benefits like mental clarity and healthy weight maintenance. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now! We need people to buy and review for it to stay at the top of iTunes pages.
