Did you hit the wall in your last race? Are you struggling with fueling your training and racing? Sports Dietitian Kristy Baumann, RD (@marathon.nutritionist) joins the show to talk about THE WALL!

  • What is "hitting the wall" and why does it happen?
  • What should you do if you "hit the wall" in a run or race?
  • Why is carbohydrate important for endurance training and performance?
  • Fueling requirements for endurance events
  • and more!!

  • Kristy Baumann is a Registered Dietitian, marathon runner, wife and mom. As a collegiate runner, she thought she was eating healthy to support her training. In reality, she was eating too 'clean' and unknowingly was restricting calories, cutting out fat and ignoring hunger signs. Food was constantly on her mind and she had a big sweet tooth. These were all signs of underfueling that resulted in recurring injuries and a poor relationship with food. When she began to change her mindset around food, understand the science of nutrition and how the body works. She learned to fuel properly which resulted in feeling more energized and setting new PRs. Now she is on a mission to help other runners avoid "hitting the wall", have a healthy relationship with food, and live their best life.
