Description

Our listener question follows up on the listener question from episode 72 - how do you take objective vs subject approaches to determine your best race distance? Then, we dive into an important topic: pre- and post-run nutrition, and why they matter so much. We dive into the science and provide practical tips that you can implement in your own training. 




Discussion points include:



  • The definition of LEA and REDs

  • Unintentional vs intentional LEA

  • Symptoms and impacts of LEA

  • How much and what should you eat before runs

  • How soon should you eat after a run?

  • What to eat after a run
