Dear Runner Bod,

I am talking this week about how you need to stop running (or having a hard workout) on an empty belly. I debunk the most common questions on why people decide to do fat adapted workouts/runs. I also talk about why people don't eat before workouts/runs because of GI issues. I have done both of these and I give you a lot ideas on what to do instead of these fat adapted workouts/runs. 

If you are struggling with fat adapted workouts/runs, please DM me @serenamarierd and I will get you my free resources!  

This week Victoria and I are talking about how to unlearn perfectionism in running. She shares her journey with this and how she is still working on finding the joy and passion she once had with running. Victoria is dedicated to helping runners of all levels by using her skills and knowledge to assist runners who are rehabbing from an injury, interested in injury prevention, and/or looking to improve their training with custom running programs.
