Today's Episode Question:

Question 1:

I was also caring for my mom - she died earlier this year and the profound grief turned into depression/anxiety and has left me with chronic fatigue. I haven't been able to run in 20 months and I've been doing it my whole life. How does one run when dealing with clinical depression/anxiety when the fatigue is too much?


Question 2:
When is the best time to incorporate single leg exercises? Is it year-round or during a certain phase of training? How should this be balanced with exercises that use both legs?


Question 3:
Iโ€™ve run two marathons and started carb loading 2 days prior to marathon day. Iโ€™m generally a healthy eater and I really struggle with consuming the suggested 10grams of carbs per kilogram of body weight before the event, given that my carb loading diet is made up of things that I donโ€™t like eating, ie white bread, white rice and sports drinks. I previously fuelled well throughout my 2 marathons and luckily havenโ€™t experienced hitting the wall yet. Iโ€™ve entered Queenstown marathon in November and am considering not carb loading as a kind of experiment and just making sure I fuel and hydrate well throughout the race. What do you think of this?
