Ketones for Ultrarunning and Mental Strategies to Overcome Difficulty with Michael Brandt

One of the best ways to push through low points in an ultramarathon? Focus.

But what do you actually focus on? And how do you not lose focus when you are in the middle of the pain cave in an ultramarathon?

Today, we chat with Ketone-IQ Co-Founder and CEO, Michael Brandt, who is also an endurance athlete who has multiple sub 3 marathon results and tons of accomplished endurance performances.

And in this episode, Michael shares tons of mental tips that will help you stay focused on your training runs and races, so that you can push through whenever it gets difficult.

Although one part of that is using Ketones (which we talk about in this episode), Michael also shares a ton of ways to build mental strength and focus in an ultra even without using Ketones. And he shares tips to optimize your nutrition to help you perform better on the trails and in life.

As a disclaimer, The Everyday Ultra Podcast is partnered with Ketone-IQ, but this episode shys away from a sales-pitch, and more so is on the educational side.

Thank you so much to Michael for coming on the show!
