Charlie Lawrence on Breaking the 50 Mile World Record, Improving Speed, and Nutrition Strategy

What is it like to run 50 miles at a 5:45 average pace? Our guest today tells us exactly what it feels like and what it took to help him get there. Because he recently did that at the Tunnel Hill 50 miler where he set the world record for fastest 50 mile in 4:48:41! Our guest today is Charlie Lawrence and he’s a professional runner for Bare Performance Nutrition and HVMN. He is also a 2:16 marathoner and has numerous spectacular finishes in the half marathon and marathon distances. This recent 50 miler was his first ever 50 miler as well! In this episode, Charlie shares how he mentally was able to push through the lows of the race, why he approached speed work so digiligently in his prep for his first 50 miler, and his interesting nutrition strategy involving exogenous ketones.
