EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Zach Bitter, Joe Rogan Experience #1110 - Zach Bitter explores ultrarunner Zach Bitter Explains Fat-Fueled 100-Mile World-Record Performance Joe Rogan interviews elite ultramarathoner Zach Bitter, focusing on his transition to high-fat, low-carb nutrition while running and winning extreme-distance races. Bitter describes how he became hooked on ultras, culminating in a 100-mile American record of 11 hours 40 minutes on a track, averaging about seven minutes per mile. They dive deeply into metabolic flexibility, fat adaptation, carbohydrate timing, and how he uses nutrition to avoid bonking and stomach issues over 100+ miles. The conversation also covers training structure, mental toughness, gear, the culture of ultrarunning, and how different bodies thrive on very different diets.
