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.
