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.
