In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed Bariatric Marathoner Carrie Valderas,  also known as @ramonarickets on IG. We discussed:

• How Carrie evolved from walking short distances into running a full marathon after bariatric surgery
• What her training weeks looked like while adding in cross-training
• How Carrie's strength training changed throughout the year to prepare for a marathon
• Carrie's key nutrition changes while training for a marathon
• Intra-run fueling during long training runs and race day fueling
• Apps Carrie used to help her throughout her training
• Her advice for someone interested in starting endurance training after bariatric surgery
