\\nThis 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.
\\nI had been looking for a beet product that had a good taste, and have loved BeetElite\\u2019s powder mix ever since.
\\nBeets can enhance muscle efficiency by reducing the oxygen-cost of exercise, essentially making it easier to work harder. Talk about being efficient.
\\nThey\\u2019ve even done a clinical trial on their product with interval training in cyclists and found an 18% increase in potential duration.
