Ask Me Anything #4

The Eat for Endurance Podcast

Welcome to Episode 49 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, and my fourth Ask Me Anything episode! It’s been well over a year since I’ve done one of these (yikes!) so this was long overdue.

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. We covered a variety of topics, including:

• Counting macros vs eating intuitively for athletes
• Fueling workouts for a Type 2 Diabetic runner
• The risks/consequences of fasted running
• Maintenance fueling (e.g. when volume reduces after a training cycle)
• Fueling for early morning runs
• Nutrition for teens
• Best electrolyte beverages
• Eating to prepare for a long run
• Sodium in foods vs sports drinks
• Fueling for running while pregnant or postpartum

Many of these topics were quite large (i.e. deserved their own episodes) so I wasn't able to fully answer them all, but hopefully my responses were helpful! Please see below for links to a prior episode and a chart that I mentioned in the show, to further answer the relevant questions.
If you have any follow up or new questions for future Ask Me Anything episodes, please to do not hesitate to get in touch. I promise I won't wait so long this time to answer them!
