This week, we're joined by Vlad Ixel. He's an ultra runner, the founder of Bix Nutrition and officially the least casual runner we've ever had on the podcast. Together, we chat about:

  • Moving to Australia and becoming a junior tennis prodigy
  • His other life as a chain smoker followed by his quarter life crisis
  • Going straight from a marathon to a 250km ultra
  • Becoming a professional runner and getting sponsored by North Face
  • Being a big fish in the Asian ultra running scene
  • Why he started Bix Nutrition and what makes it difference
  • Why we needs carbs and what the actually are electrolytes
  • Some perspective on speed and admiring those quicker than you
