Ep 55: Beyond Carb Loading - How to Fuel Well for Training and Racing, with Rebecca Jaspan
Description
Fueling well is one of the biggest challenges for runners and one of the most important pieces of training. This week, I’m joined by Rebecca Jaspan MPH, RD, CEDS, CDCES, registered dietitian, eating disorder specialist, and founder of Rebecca Jaspan Nutrition. Rebecca is also a runner herself, so she knows firsthand the obstacles athletes face when it comes to eating enough, finding the right balance, and navigating race-day fueling.
In this conversation, we cover everything from everyday nutrition habits to long-run fueling strategies, carb loading myths, recovery snacks, and how to spot signs of underfueling. Rebecca also shares practical tips for busy runners, advice for those struggling with GI issues, and how to rebuild a positive relationship with food.
Whether you’re training for your first marathon or chasing a personal best, this episode is packed with tools to help you fuel smarter, run stronger, and feel better on and off the roads.
