This week Kathryn and Kristi welcome back our friend Meredith Root. Meredith is the co-founder of Team Tactic, a nutrition and training coaching company, with her wife Alex Parker. Meredith will be racing the Unbound 200 this year for the second time. She is here to talk about the lessons she learned last year during the race, and how she has changed her training this year compared to last year. Meredith also explains some of the lessons she took away from racing the 200 mile last year, like how she hit her nutrition and hydration goals, controlling the controllables, and getting the most out of your fueling on the days leading into the race. She also explains how she has adapted her strength training over the last few months, as well as how she has benefitted from hiring a coach.
