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
