In today’s episode, I dive into the science of fuel flexibility, your body’s ability to switch between burning carbs and fat during marathon training and racing.


I’ll explain why this matters for endurance runners, what the latest research tells us, and how you can train your metabolism to become more efficient. We’ll cover practical tools like fasted runs, nutrition periodisation, and smarter long-run fueling so you can avoid the wall, finish stronger, and recover better.


If you’ve ever wondered how elite marathoners keep going mile after mile or how you can improve your own energy management this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
