Mikki and Jess swap pre-race nerves for nerdy joy as Mikki preps for a multi-stage desert ultra—sand dunes, poles, altitude and all. They unpack the logistics (mandatory gear, daily calorie targets, pack weight) and Mikki’s key lesson from her last stage race: big “rest-day” meals can backfire; liquid glucose can save the next day’s gut. The chat pivots to GLP-1 meds: what they actually do (slower gastric emptying, steadier glucose, reduced appetite), why weekly dosing matters, and why “GLP-1 diets” are just marketing cosplay. Expect practical takeaways, myth-busting, and a reminder that progress—whether 20 hours in sand or 100 kettlebell snatches—is a long game powered by consistent action.
