When it comes to fielding advice on training for an ultramarathon, Scott Traer is one of the go-to guys in the sport to listen to. With an impressive ultra running career with epic accomplishments including securing a Golden Ticket at Black Canyon 100k, placing in the top 10 at Western States 100, and winning the Hennepin 100, he has built a name for himself as one of the most notable runners in the sport.
Scott Traer is also a UESCA certified coach who helps endurance athletes accomplish their biggest goals through his RunFastah coaching business. He is also the Race Director of the Desert Runner Trail series run by Aravaipa Running in Arizona. And the most notable event he’s leading later this year? The McDowell Mountain Frenzy 50 Miler - where the first place male and female will receive a 1-year sponsorship to Salomon; an epic prize for any amateur runner!
In this episode, Scott not only breaks down everything about Frenzy, but he also dives into how he approaches his training, the keys to nail your next ultra on race day, and how to optimally hydrate so that you perform excellently.
Huge thanks to Scott for making this happen!
