Nathan Yanko
In December of 2008 Nathan ran his first trail race, a 17k run in Muir Beach, CA. He won. A month later attempted his first Ultra. He won again and set a course record. This was the start of a very good year for Nathan as he began racking up more trail and race experience. Nathan takes a holistic approach to running that focuses not only on training hard and covering great distances very quickly, but taking care of his body and following a healthy diet and lifestyle. This enables his body to withstand the 120+ mile training weeks.
Having trained at the Culinary Academy of California and currently a master Baker at Tartine, one of the top restaurants in San Francisco, Nathan is known for his home-made nutritional concoctions that keep him smiling during his ultras 100 mile races. Hopefully he’ll soon give us the recipe for what he has been putting in his Gel-bots and Soft Flasks to let us all in on the secret.
