Great episode. I have been motivating myself with a lot of ultra videos, and am floored by Courtney's mindset. Absolutely has inspired me to push myself a bit further in my own training, and cannot wait to see her take on the 500 miler again.
I hear you on the age factor Brad! I am 52 now and definitely seeing it in my pace. But the biggest key is to keep on moving. You WILL drop that 30 pounds and WILL get up to 10km straight. Start with 3 pounds and 1km and then keep going!!!!
Potatoes are so awesome -- what a superfood! It made the country I live in, Norway, when the farmers got ahold of it at the end of the 1700's. Maybe Courtney has some nordic genes in her. I know some people struggle with digesting the starch in potatoes, but norwegians have their gut bacteria literally based on this staple food source.
@@kalo1970 The race is something we're engaged in every day. My point was that trial and error isn't going to cut it in the complex world we now live in. We're going to have to find better techniques and approaches.
Courtney is a total badass 💪👍
Agreed!!
Thanks everyone for the great feedback. This was a very enjoyable interview to do!
I love this woman so much !!! Total inspiration for me and the reason I run !!

Fantastic! What's your next challenge?
@@TheHardWayJDS drop 30lbs and be able to run 10k without stopping/ walking.
@@RichardBrubaker keep us posted! You can do this!
@@TheHardWayJDS Thanks.
Now that I am off the couch, the only hurdle is accepting that it take a bit longer now than it did when I was 18.

Apple slices and potato chips worked for me.
How far are you running?
@@TheHardWayJDS I don't run anymore. At the time I was running 46 miles.
@@edorofish nice!
Trial and error is a time-consuming process.
It is! But effective.
Sure beats learning the hard lessons DURING a race. I have seen lots of people drop out with GI issues after consuming new food on race days. 🤮

What does she carry her mashed potato in during a race?
The aid stations in ultras often have an assortment of hot foods and sometimes you can have a support team meet you at certain points to resupply you.
In some other video you can see her crew filling up reusable food pouches with homemade mashed potatoes.
She puts the raw potato directly in to her shoes. After about 15 miles they are cooked, mashed and ready to eat.
