Why does nutrition really matter for runners? It’s about so much more than just “eating healthy.” The way you fuel directly impacts your energy, recovery, hormone health, and ultimately, your performance.
In this episode, I break down:
✅ Why your body actually needs most of its calories just to function—and what happens when you don’t eat enough
✅ How underfueling (and low energy availability) can quietly sabotage your training and recovery
✅ Why carbohydrate balance is key for performance and protecting your protein intake
✅ The role of macronutrient balance and micronutrients in keeping you running strong
✅ The real benefits of dialing in your nutrition as a runner—from faster recovery to better performance
If you’ve ever wondered whether your nutrition is helping or holding you back, this episode is your starting point.
