These events are ultimately about the runners and not the peanut gallery anyways.

Jesse Rich, a nutritionist and coach, joins the DFL Before DNF podcast to discuss late race survival in ultrarunning. Jesse shares his personal running journey, his background in nutrition and coaching, and his decision to not pursue sponsorships.

Jesse emphasizes the segmented approach to races and the variability in nutrition strategies for different individuals. Overall, his practical and accessible approach to nutrition and running makes him a valuable resource for runners of all levels. Takeaways Segmenting races into smaller goals can help maintain motivation and focus. Nutrition plays a crucial role in late race survival, and finding a strategy that works for each individual is important. The decision to pursue sponsorships and become a professional runner is a personal one, and it's okay to prioritize other aspects of life. DNFs can provide valuable lessons and learning experiences. Balancing running and coaching can be challenging but rewarding. Variability in nutrition strategies exists, and what works for one person may not work for another.

| 17 Oct 2024 | Do I Have Trail Running Credibility? | 01:16:17 | |
Does Josh have the necessary credibility to build a trail running media company? He's not a former pro runner or even a good runner. In fact he chases cutoffs most of the time. He only has one elite trail running friend. Does he belong at the table?

In this conversation, Josh shares his journey of moving to Salt Lake City, building connections through running, and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship. He reflects on the unique sports culture in Salt Lake, the emotional power of running, and the importance of supporting others in their dreams. Josh discusses his musical aspirations, the entrepreneurial spirit he developed during his punk rock days, and how he discovered a passion for finance. He emphasizes the significance of marketing in sharing creations and the methodical approach he took towards achieving his ultra running goals. In this conversation, Josh shares his experiences with running, entrepreneurship, and the challenges of balancing passion with business. He discusses the importance of relationships in building a successful venture and reflects on the dynamics of the trail running community.
