Are you a runner that eats half a banana before the run and half the fridge after?

This pattern is most certainly affecting your running performance and can lead to unwanted weight gain.

So how can you fuel properly and break this cycle?

On today’s episode, we’re going to break down one of the most common and misunderstood fueling patterns I see in endurance runners and how to actually nourish your body for performance and for life.

You’ll learn

why this happens in the first place,
how underfueling is quietly sabotaging your performance and recovery, and
how to fuel all day long so your runs and your life are just better.

And if you want a simple guide to follow along with everything we’re talking about today, I’ve got you covered. You can grab my free fueling guide at www.theplantedrunner.com/join.

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great podcast for experienced and new runners alike!

I found this podcast about 5 years ago and have been a devoted listener ever since. Great interviews with famous and ordinary runners along with running advice and discussions that will motivate you to get out there and be the best runner you can be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Running tips and inspiration at its best

I’ve followed for a while and pop in and out when I see a topic I’m especially in need of help or need to revisit some expert tips from Claire. Super helpful information. Claire is so knowledgeable and presents everything in such a user friendly way, whether you are a newbie runner or looking for some updated perspective on the world of running!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Very informative!

I love this podcast! I started listening when I was new to running (been eating a plant based diet for much longer than I’ve been running) and I always find it very interesting! Coach Claire has a very good voice and precise way of speaking and conveying information! I just wish the episodes were longer so they didn’t stop halfway through my runs!
