What happens when things to quite go as planned? You lose your mind and podcast.
Run update: If you heard the last episode, #75 with special guest Carlos Dones where we got to hear about his experience, planning, doing, and finishing the Grand to Grand ultra, a 170 mile 7-day self supported race. For most knowing that may not register so to put it in perspective, here’s an AMAZING description: “[T]he first stage race to start from the awe inspiring north rim of the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and finish on the summit of the Grand Staircase, one of the world’s most iconic geological formations.”
So check that out if you haven’t. In that episode I talk about when I was doing my 50 miler. And I’ve already been asked my folks about how my 50 miler went. So thanks for asking everybody. As much as I’d love to me telling you I got it done done and done, I’m not. Here’s the deal. I took time off, did my prep, plotted the course, internalized it, communicated with my crew how I wanted thing to flow, gear set aside, fuel put together, yada yada. Basically ready to go. Listen to the episode to know what went down. Thanks for listening!

Anna Vocino episodes:
Lonnie Beauchamp gets a shout out because I used his tag line on the last episode. I’m sure when he heard it made his manhood flinch, but when his name or company didn’t get the nod, wink, or knuckle bump he may have gotten upset and went out and desecrated an already dead vermon he get paid barrels loads clear out.

Part 1 with Tony Portera was fun. In part 2 the fun continues and we get to learn much more. We learn about Tony’s nutrition, fueling strategy, the wonderful people he’s worked and trained with, and in the end a rapid fire question round. Be sure to listen. Thanks!
Nutrition outside running
- Follow NSNG (No Sugars, No Grains) lifestyle.
- Eat when hungry.
- Typical day:
- Wake up, have a coffee with HWC (heavy whipping cream)
- Might have BPC (Bulletproof Coffee) if have a 20 mile run.
- Had a Fat Shake before the call consisting of kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, chia seeds, and a scoop of coconut oil.
- Sometimes an afternoon snack of cheese and salami. Maybe a salad.
- Dinner would consist of steak, fish, or chicken and salad. Maybe some berries.
- Almonds or sunflower seeds.
During running:
Still a struggle. On a fat-adapted lifestyle and fueling strategy, Tony can run 20 miles without eating anything, so unless 20+ mile training runs are a regular thing, there isn’t a lot of opportunity to practice fueling on the run.
Typically things to fuel with:
- Vespa
- PocketFuel
- Justin’s Nut butters
- Salami
- Cheese
- Pickles
- Olives
- Coconut oil
In his most recent Jackpot 100 performance, while employing a High Fat, Low Carbohydrate fueling strategy:
For 80 miles:
- PocketFuel
- Salami
- Nuun for electrolytes
- No bonk. No rush of sugar.
For miles 80 through 90s infused more carbs into system:
- A few gels on limited bases
- Pizza later in the race.
Result: It went well and Tony finished 3rd place overall. His personal best for a 100 mile race, and just under 19 hrs (18:58).
“Everybody is different. Experimenting is good.”
Some recommended fuels to try include:
- Justins Nut Butters
- PocketFuel
- Generation UCAN Superstarch
- Vespa
- BRL Sport Nutrition Trifuel and Invigor8
“Adapting in ultra running is very important. Running an ultramarathon is all about goal adaptation.”
Fear the chair. Fear the van…Don’t get in the f*cken van!
“There’s nothing wrong with not finishing. Some of the greatest runners have DNF’d one point or another. Absolutely nothing wrong.”
Tony’s wrap up and special thanks:
- The whole ultra community
- Lisa Smith-Batchen
- Ray Zahab
- Zach Bitter
- Vinnie Tortorich
- Jamie Donaldson
All the people he trains with regularly including:
- Aaron Heath
- Elena Makovskaya
- David Isaac
- Van Cortlandt Track Club
All the race directors including:
- Mario Lacerda
- Chris Kostman
- Blake Norwood
Included in this year’s Badwater crew:
- Vinnie Tortorich
- Serena Scott Thoms
- Jason Obirek
