Today's episode is a Q&A where I answer questions submitted by listeners. It's also my last Q&A episode before I run the New York City Marathon, so I talk a little about my training block and race day goals.

Questions answered in today's episode include:

• Do you have any good snack ideas for night time? I usually like to have something sweet before bed.
• Recently I started waking up really hungry and was wondering if this is normal or a sign of under fueling? I only have noticed this recently after being more intentional with fueling.
• What are your thoughts on caffeine pills or beetroot juice before races?
• I recently ran a 10 mile race, but when I tried increasing my carbs the week before my race I experienced tons of GI distress that disrupted my race. What did I do wrong and what can I do differently next time?
