Fueled by Maple Syrup, This Guy is Running 12 Ultras in 12 Months with Justin Kaufmann
Justin Kaufman joins us for this episode of Everyday Ultra, and this one goes DEEP. From sobriety and rebuilding his life through endurance sports to becoming a 12x ultramarathoner, 2x Ironman, and someone taking on 12 ultras in 12 months.
Kaufy has built a completely different approach to what it means to train, recover, and perform at a high level. Kaufy gets into the mindset, habits, and philosophy behind it all—and there are some seriously unconventional takeaways.
In this episode you will learn:
- How sobriety completely changed Kaufy’s relationship with endurance sports
- The high-volume, Norwegian-inspired training philosophy behind his massive mileage
- Why sleep, food, and recovery come BEFORE training
- How back-to-back long runs build the durability needed for ultras
- His wild fueling strategy, including HUGE carbohydrate intake and the legendary maple syrup method
- Adjusting hydration, sodium, and carbs for heat, elevation, and race conditions
- Training for the long term while managing health, AFib, and race anxiety
- The mental toughness that comes from overcoming some of life’s hardest battles
