About this episode
We’re going back to basics—because let’s be honest, most runners are still underfueling! In this special anniversary episode, I’m bringing back the very first guest I ever had on the show: Registered Dietitian and running coach Cortney Berling to talk (again) about RUNNING NUTRITION 101! If you’ve ever wondered… Should I eat before my run? Why? When? What?? How much fuel do I ACTUALLY need during long runs? Why is post-run fueling so dang hard? And wait... am I underfueling even if I’m not losing weight? This one’s for you. We cover: 🥯 Pre-run fueling (yes, even early morning runs!) 🔋 In-run fueling strategies & how to train your gut 🍳 What post-run nutrition should look like (even when you're not hungry) ⚡ Fueling myths that won’t die 🧠 Why underfueling might be the real reason you feel overtrained or stuck Whether you’re training for your first 5K or your 100th marathon, this is a conversation every runner should hear.
