Thirty minutes of moderate exercise, five days per week is a good goal for basic fitness.
Compare this 2½ hours of exercise over the course of a week to 70 hours of exercise over just five days—swimming a total of 12 miles, biking 560 miles, and running 131 miles. This is the extraordinary EPIC5 Challenge, held annually on five beautiful Hawaiian Islands.
Today on LivingFuelTV, we continue our popular series Super Human Feat with ultra-endurance athlete Christian Isakson. Join us as we look closely at the nutrition plan Christian used to fuel himself through this grueling event. While you may not complete an Ironman triathlon soon, what fueled Christian through the EPIC5 just might help fuel you through your day.

Exercising in 80-degree heat for 12 hours a day for 5 straight days requires a focused mind, a sound pacing plan, fortified confidence, and targeted nutrition.

How do you plan for the inevitable stresses, challenges, and obstacles that life brings? Ultra-endurance athlete Christian Isakson learned much from his incredible effort at the EPIC5 Challenge in Hawaii. These lessons have direct application for us and our families.

Imagine starting your day at sunrise swimming 2.4 miles, then biking 112 miles, then running 26.2 miles back-to-back-to-back, crossing a finish line that night. This is known as the Ironman triathlon and these races are held all around the world. Professional Ironman triathletes finish in just over eight hours, with the “average” finisher completing this amazing test of endurance between 10-14 hours.
Now imagine completing an Ironman distance race for five consecutive days, on five different Hawaiian Islands. Meet the
EPIC5 Challenge and Living Fuel champion Christian Isakson who recently accomplished this Super Human Feat in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
We sat down with Christian and discovered a man whose passions lie far beyond swim, bike, and run. How did he do it? What did he learn? His answers will encourage, inspire, and motivate you and your whole family.
