What inspires Kris

“The capability of the human body that only a few will ever see or tap into.”

Off the clock

The real Kris.

Kris’s best advice

Eat, eat, eat

Race day · Race morning

Coffee & plain oatmeal

Guilty pleasure

Salt & vinegar chips

Post-race meal

Something large and unhealthy

Always in the fridge

Food, beer, chocolate

WHEN IT TASTES GOOD, IT’S GOOD.*

Kris’s words, not ours: “On long days, XACT gives me the energy needed to keep pushing deep into a race.”
