THE LOW CARB RUNNER
- Mike is a fat-adapted athlete.
- He’s been on the show before!
- When he became fat-adapted in 2017, he wanted to run 100 miles without any calories.
- All he had was salt, water, potassium.Â
- He did it in just over 18 hours.
- Now, he feels more confident in trusting his fat stores.
- This was one of his faster 100s!
MIKE MCKNIGHT’S FASTEST KNOWN TIME
- He has a fastest known time for an ultra event.
- This is for the Denver to Durango east route.
- It’s 500 miles with around 90,000 feet of elevation gain.
- This is for the Denver to Durango east route.
- It took him 6 to 8 weeks.
- People try to beat it, but nobody has since he set it in 2014.
- Lots don’t finish because of injury.
- Check out the documentary here.
MIKE’S WEIGHT LOSS
- Prior to becoming such an insane ultra athlete, he lost a lot of weight.
- He has a photo documentary of Mike’s weight loss occurring at the same time as he built a car.
- Any of us can be Mike (or at least, Mike-lite).
- He didn’t think he was athletic at all prior to this.
- Track wasn’t his thing, he didn’t get playing time for the teams he was on.
- This is something you work hard for.
