Fueling the Ultra Life: Coach Jes Woods' Journey from Track to Trails

Welcome to Episode 95 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast! I have an Athlete Nutrition Profile for you today, featuring ultrarunner and coach Jes Woods.

You may already be familiar with Jes, especially if you live in NYC. She coaches thousands of athletes through Nike Run Club, Brooklyn Track Club, and Brooklyn Trail Club, and has also worked with boutique fitness studios including Mile High Run Club and Flywheel.

Jes also is a fierce athlete herself. She competed as a triple jumper for nearly a decade, and then discovered distance running after college while working in broadcasting at NBC. She ultimately embraced the ultra running community, started coaching, and turned fitness into a full-time career.

We had a great discussion about her nutrition and how that has changed over time as she transitioned into distance running. We explore how she fuels herself, from the marathon to the 200 mile distance, as well as what she observes and teaches her own athletes.

Jes also shares that she hates to cook, and tells us how she keeps herself well-nourished to support her health and very active lifestyle.

I hope you enjoy this episode! And if you do, please remember to share it with your friends, give it a 5-star rating and write a review wherever you listen to your podcasts. Your support is greatly appreciated!
