As most trail runners we know are glued to tracking the little dots traveling across Arizona for the Cocodona 250, we thought it was a great time to revisit our conversation with one of the athletes on-course, Kilian Korth, who is also a big nutrition science nerd, like us. We talked about:
His unique nutritional strategies, including his shift from vegetarianism to a high-fat, low-carb diet.
His training regimen and recovery techniques
Mental strategies for overcoming challenges during races and training
Kilian Korth lives and trains in Western Colorado, spending time traversing mountain ridges and desert canyons alike. He is an ultra runner and full time coach, focusing on the 200 mile distance and other multi-day efforts. This weekend he became the Moab 240 champion AND Triple Crown Winner, setting a new record after winning the 2025 Bigfoot 200 and Tahoe 200. We chatted with Kilian about some interesting nutrition and mindset strategies he uses, as well as achieving this monumental goal. Other notable running achievements include:
1st place, DC Peaks 50 Mile, 2022
1st place, Mogollon Monster 100, 2024
1st place, Red Rock Canyon 100K, 2024 
2nd place, Bigfoot 200, 2023
Ultimately he wants to evolve and strive toward longer and longer distances, eyeing some of the notable long trail FKTs in the United States and elsewhere, like the Colorado Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Appalachian trails.

In episode #180 we we dive into the science of stress, burnout, and nervous system regulation with Rita Ainsworth, a trauma-informed resilience coach. Rita shares practical tools and insights on how understanding and working with your nervous system can transform stress into fuel for long-term success, especially for high achievers juggling demanding careers and athletic pursuits.
In this episode:
The impact of cumulative stress and burnout, and recognizing the symptoms
Key nervous system states and how they influence energy and performance
Practical tools for regulating the nervous system
Rita Ainsworth is a trauma-informed human potential and resilience coach who helps high performers understand and work with their nervous system for better energy, clarity, and long-term performance. With a background in pharmacy, nervous system regulation, somatic and "parts" work, and years in high-pressure performance marketing, she bridges science and lived experience to show how stress becomes fuel, how freeze derails performance, and how self-leadership keeps high performers in their window of tolerance. Rita’s approach is grounded, practical, and deeply human, built on the belief that resilience comes from understanding your system, not fighting against it. When she’s not coaching, she loves hiking in the beautiful hills of Wales and England.
