Today I am excited to have Zach Bitter, A world record holding endurance athlete on the podcast.

Zach has competed professionally in ultramarathons since 2010. Zach has broken both World and American Records, as well as won three national championships. Zach has competed for Team USA’s World 100km Team on three occasions.

Notable Achievements:

• Current 100 Mile World Record Holder (11 hours 19 minutes 13 seconds)
  
• Current 12 Hour World Record Holder (104.88 miles)
  
• 9th Fastest Time Recorded on the historic JFK 50 Mile Course
  
• Three time National Champion (50 mile ‘12 & ‘15 100km ‘14)
  

One notable thing about Zach is that he is a fat adapted athlete, meaning he does not utilize many carbohydrates in his training. We talk about al of that on the podcast today and what let him to that.
