Welcome to Episode 90 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring sports dietitian and ultra runner Julie Shobe, MS RDN.


Julie is a second-time guest on the show, and I brought her back to tell me all about her recent Zion 100 mile ultra marathon finish. In case you missed it, go back and listen to our first episode together, where we deep dive into how to fuel an ultra marathon.


In today's episode, Julie and I discuss:


  • How Julie created her fueling plan for the Zion 100

  • What fueling looked like throughout her training

  • How everything played out for her on race day


As we all know when it comes to these longer endurance events, things rarely go according to plan! Julie shared all the lessons she learned, including things about her nutrition that surprised her, what did and didn’t go as well as she had hoped, plus some hilarious stories.


We also go off on a few tangents, and even touch on the recent drama about Spring Energy’s Awesome Sauce. I hope you enjoy this episode and find it useful, especially for those of you training for ultras!
