Part 6/9:
While many might overlook it, nutrition became one of the trickiest elements of this challenge. With only two to three hours between each run, figuring out how to fuel my body adequately without feeling weighed down was a constant tug-of-war. Carbohydrates, protein bars, and quick snacks supplied necessary energy but often left me distressed or feeling bloated.
Unexpected Connections and Support
What truly made this journey special was the overwhelming support from the running community. Friends and acquaintances joined me for various segments, providing not just company but also encouragement. Hearing stories of resilience, of others who had taken on the Goggins challenge, fueled my motivation even further.
