<p>We put on some supershoes for an extra boost for this great episode! A main topic was a question we get a lot: whether high-carb fueling during training is healthy in a broader sense. We not only think it&#39;s healthy, we think that the question is best asked another way: how much healthier is fueling your training than the alternative of underfueling? It&#39;s true that you probably don&#39;t want to be slurping a gel at 3 PM for a snack. But around training, try to fuel the work you&#39;re doing.</p><p>The big science topic was a new study on trail shoes with carbon plates, which theorizes that they won&#39;t be helpful for trail runners. We use the study to talk about the risks of broad conclusions from narrow protocols. It&#39;s possible that carbon-plated shoes won&#39;t take over trail running in the next decade. But we would bet that they do.</p><p>And this one was full of fun topics! Other topics: the pursuit of greatness, a Western States 100 training update, sharing vulnerability, the shoe disqualification at the US 100 Mile Championships, individual variation in training, frequency of racing, filming training videos, Zone 2 guidelines, the debate around stretching, building mental toughness, and setting boundaries.</p><p>Like Timothée Chalamet, we&#39;re really in pursuit of greatness.
