Ep 58. Women's Running Workshop. 21. Kate Percy tells us what to eat

Welcome to episode 58 of the Women’s Running Podcast, and the 21st Workshop. This time, Holly and I have an actual guest. And this has been a long time coming: Kate Percy has worked with Women’s running loads, she’s the utterly lovely brains behind Go Bites, those beautiful balls of loveliness that keep us going on long runs. I wanted us to talk to her, as I thought both Holy and I could do with a bit of guidance when it came to our nutrition. What’s lovely about Kate is that she’s a realist and she loves food: so she’s not going to tell us what not to eat, she’s only going to gently guide us towards the sorts of food that will be helpful in terms of supporting our running. We talk about the food that we should be eating, bearing in mind the chasm between our ages, and the sorts of food we enjoy eating – happily enough, some of these things are the same. It’s so useful to find out what Holly (25) needs to be thinking about, and what I (47) should be thinking about. Spoiler: I need to eat more edamame beans, but happily it doesn’t matter if it’s the salted kind from Wagamamas (not sponsored, but happy to take sponsorship from our Favourite Take out Ever). And there are a couple of things that have blown our minds – firstly that it’s fine to have breakfast later in the day. And secondly, we discover the Magic Window! And in the Magic Window you can essentially eat anything you like, or at least that’s what I decided to hear.
