Jess Mullen Interview
Jess Mullen has had quite a streak recently, racking up strong finished and wins at races around the country. She flew by Sarah in the final stages of Rio Del Lago 100 miler a few years ago, and now she’s on the show to share her secrets! She’s got a ton of contagious energy and we bounce all over the place in this conversation.
In this interview we discuss:
* Jess’ incredible closing abilities and what she does to keep her skills honed.
* Diet and metabolic efficiency. Jess is a dietician who works with endurance athletes and she shares plenty of advice and tips on keeping the engine running to its fullest potential.
* CrossFit. Jess used to be a CrossFit instructor (as well as a CPA/Auditor?!?) and shares her insight on how aspects of it can be used to benefit ultramarathons and trail races.
* What she likes so much about grinding, tough rocky courses.
* How she’s training specifically for her first time at Western States 100 in June.
