Marathon season is a about to begin. That means for runners all over the world it's also fueling season! In this episode Lisa Braden, RD is here to give us all the information we need fuel or long run training and marathons so we can perform at our best and enhance our fitness/potential. Lisa is a Registered Dietitian and runner dedicated to helping people improve their lives and athletic performance through the foods they eat. By early morning, she is training for races, and by day she is balancing several roles as a mother, functional health RD, and running specialist. Her passion grew from combining her two biggest passions - running and food - in order to help others reach their goals. From a modest start helping friends eat well to train well, the need has grown, and LB the RD was born. She earned an undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the University of Oklahoma and went on to earn a Master of Science in Nutrition. Lisa has been a Registered Dietitian for over 10 years. Lisa has been running for over 20 years and has no plans to stop any time soon. In the last four years, she has elevated her training and gone from casual runner to winning races and top age group placements.
