I’ve got a new story at Men’s Health. It’s a profile of coach and ultrarunner David Roche, who is one of the leaders in the so-called high carb revolution.
“IN THE SUMMER of 2024, runner and coach David Roche made a stunning announcement. He’d won a slot in the Leadville Trail 100 Mile, one of the oldest and most iconic races in the sport of Ultramarathon, which includes any race over 26.2 miles.
“Not only is Leadville one of the most storied races, but it also had one of the oldest course records, which many people believe was unbeatable. But Roche was not one of them. He said he could beat the nearly two decade-old time of 15 hours, 42 minutes and 59 seconds.
“The announcement was shocking for many reasons, but one stood out: Roche had never raced a hundred miles.”
