Episode 5: The Applied Science of Long Run Fueling


Listen Later

Episode 5 covers the topic of long run nutrition! We approach how to fuel long runs and races (15K to ultra) from both science and practice. We want you to understand why you should fuel - along with how you can actually hit your carbohydrate goals in a long run/race without feeling sick. 

Topics in this episode include:

- carbohydrate goals for long-distance running

- why fueling on your long runs won't make you gain weight

- how to actually get in all those carbs on long runs

- sport nutrition products vs whole foods

- gut training to avoid GI upset on race day

We mention the Feed in the episode - https://thefeed.com/ (non-affiliate link, Laura really loves this company).
