Description

Some running advice sounds good, until it starts holding you back. In this myth-busting episode, we’re tackling three popular pieces of running advice that could actually be sabotaging your performance, recovery, and relationship with running.

Join me as I break down:

  • Why running fasted to burn more fat isn't as effective as it sounds

  • The truth behind “train low, race high” and who that strategy is actually for

  • How the belief that “lighter is faster” can lead runners down a dangerous path

If you’ve ever questioned your fueling strategy, chased weight loss to improve performance, or felt confused about carb timing—this episode is for you. Let’s clear up the confusion and help you fuel smarter, train stronger, and recover better.
