Description

In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed Bariatric Marathoner Carrie Valderas,  also known as @ramonarickets on IG. We discussed:

  • How Carrie evolved from walking short distances into running a full marathon after bariatric surgery
  • What her training weeks looked like while adding in cross-training
  • How Carrie's strength training changed throughout the year to prepare for a marathon
  • Carrie's key nutrition changes while training for a marathon
  • Intra-run fueling during long training runs and race day fueling
  • Apps Carrie used to help her throughout her training
  • Her advice for someone interested in starting endurance training after bariatric surgery
