This episode is brought to you by BeetElite. I was introduced to BeetElite by Amelia ahead of the Spartan World Championships in Tahoe in 2017 due to the benefit of beets when at altitude.

I had been looking for a beet product that had a good taste, and have loved BeetElite’s powder mix ever since.

Beets can enhance muscle efficiency by reducing the oxygen-cost of exercise, essentially making it easier to work harder. Talk about being efficient.

They’ve even done a clinical trial on their product with interval training in cyclists and found an 18% increase in potential duration.

Try BeetElite yourself to experience the benefits of beet powered performance. Take 20% off all BeetElite products at humann.com/beetelite.
