How should runners actually fuel for performance — without food rules, under-fueling, or confusion?
In this episode of The Marathon Podcast, Registered Dietitian KC Stockmon breaks down practical, evidence-based nutrition for runners, including carbs, protein, recovery, hunger cues, and why eating enough is the foundation of better training, health, and race performance.

This is a must-listen for marathoners, distance runners, and anyone struggling to balance fueling, performance, and enjoyment of food.
