Episode Notes

We are joined by trail star Seth Ruhling to preview the Western States 100, debating Jim Walmsley's sponsor entry, Killian Jornet on a torn meniscus, and the gastrointestinal perils of high-carb fueling. The crew also untangles the confusing science behind Zone 2 versus threshold training and recaps recent World Cup matches.
