The Carnivore Diet – with Zach Bitter – Ultramarathoner
The Carnivore Diet with Zach Bitter:
Endurance Training and Setting World Records on a Carnivore Diet
“How to Run with the Wolves”
When most people think of endurance training they think marathons.
In this episode I chatted with Zach Bitter who is an ultra-marathoner, holding the American World Record in the 100 mile race.
Not only can Zach do the equivalent of 4 straight marathons at a Boston-Marathon-qualifying-pace, he does this by being fueled almost entirely on meat.
Tune in to see how meat (not carbs) power a World Record holding endurance athlete.
Thanks to Zach for sharing his story and advice on getting into World Record books and to you for listening!
