Friends, welcome to episode 19 and this week we have the absolute pleasure of chatting with Charlie Watson! Charlie is a 12 time marathoner (including a 6 star world marathon finisher), Registered Dietitian, and author of her extremely popular, award winning blog "The Runner Beans."  She is also the author of her new cookbook, "Cook, Eat, Run" and the host of her podcast also entitled Cook, Eat, Run. Charlie is such a lovely person and we were hanging onto every word she said in this fun and engaging conversation about discovering the hidden gems in London. We are 19 episodes into the podcast and 2 of them have been about London, so as you can tell - we are big fans of that incredible city. One of the things that we love about travel and running is that you can talk to a runner about the same city and get a totally different perspective, and that is what you will gain in this episode. (make sure you go back and check out episode 13 with Marcus Brown to hear his take on running in London). There is a reason why Charlie has over 65,000 people following her on Instagram - her awesome running photos, the way she always keeps it real and her her invaluable nutrition advice are just a few of the reasons why you should be following Charlie (and buying her cookbook and subscribing to her podcast!).
