315. The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework Part 2: How Runners Should Actually Eat


Listen Later

In The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework – Part 2: How Runners Should Actually Eat, we’re talking about the piece that confuses more runners than anything else: food.

Most runners think eating better means eating less, cutting out carbs completely, or just being more disciplined.

And for a while, that might seem like it’s working.

But then the hunger ramps up, recovery slows down, energy crashes, and running starts to feel way harder than it should.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how runners should actually eat if they want to burn fat, recover faster, and stop feeling like food is a constant mental tug-of-war.

This isn’t about meal plans, calorie counting, or eating perfectly. It’s about fueling in a way that supports your training instead of fighting against it.

If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or stuck when it comes to food and running, this episode is going to bring a lot of clarity.
