057. William Walcker | Naak Nutrition: developing efficient and sustainable fuel for endurance sports

Naak stands for Nutrition for Adventurous Athletes who run Kilometers, and is a Canadian based nutrition company with one main mission: build the most efficient and sustainable fuel for endurance sports, helping athletes sustain their races and adventures with a long lasting, high quality energy source.

We sat down with William Walcker, Naak's co-founder, to talk about how the company started, what products they make and how, their values, centered on creating a positive environmental and social impact. We touched the concept of sustainability and we discussed about their relationship and the value that they find in working with some of the best trail athletes in the world. We also covered some basics regarding nutrition in endurance sports, in everyday life and during training and racing.
