MIKE MCKNIGHT

• After high school, he was a bit heavy.
  • He picked up running.
• Once he did a half marathon, he realized he was a pretty good runner.
• Mike suffered a broken back after a ski accident–following this, he really got into ultra running.
  • 3 weeks into his broken back with a body brace on, he went out and ran half a mile.
  • He felt bad, but it didn't hurt, so he started running every day.
    • He recovered very quickly and began running 10+ miles every day.
      • Trail running really appealed to him and he got hooked.
• He is also the winner of the Ultra Running Triple Crown: he had the fastest cumulative time over the Bigfoot 200, the Tahoe 200, and the Moab 240 in 2017.
  • In 2018, he actually won each race individually as well. 
    • This was his breakout.
    • He ran just under 7 days.

TAKING YOUR BODY TO THE LIMIT

• Mike recently ran 100 miles on zero calories.
  • • This is ultimate fat adaptation-you can still eat fatty foods to run while fat adapted.
• He originally started running fat-adapted because he had digestive issues while running doing anything else.
• Mike usually only allows himself to eat in a 6 hour window each day.
• The keto diet works very well for ultra athletes.
  • He is "bonk-proof" and has a strong stomach.
• Mike eats a lot of meat and eggs, and before a race will also have an orange.
  • He makes sure he's all stoked up on fat, and will have a TBS of coconut oil, too.
• He also finds day-to-day benefits like mental clarity and healthy weight maintenance.
