We know that nutrition plays a critical role in our recovery and running performance, both in training and while racing.

Yet, it's often difficult for runners to balance the needs of their running with the desire to eat healthier overall and keep the weight off. The difficulty is compounded when we realize that no one diet or nutrition plan is right for everyone.

That's why we've brought nutrition expert Brian St. Pierre onto the show to discuss…

• The problems with calorie counting and how to do it better.
• Why under fueling is a major issue with most runners
• The science of fueling for your workouts
• Balancing performance nutrition with healthy eating
• And much, much more.

For those that don't know, Brian St Pierre is a registered dietitian and has a master's degree in food science and human nutrition. He's also a certified Sports Nutritionist and serves on the Men's Health Board of Advisors.

He works with Olympians as well as pro athletes from the US Open, the NBA and the NFL. He's been featured in too many publications to even list, including US News & World Report, Men's Health, Men's Fitness, BuzzFeed, and more.

You'll love this conversation, not just for the specifics on how to better fuel, but Brian's open-mind when it comes to finding the right nutrition plan for you.
