In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we sit down with Kristen and Sam, experienced nutrition coaches specializing in helping runners optimize their performance through tailored nutrition strategies. Their unique approach focuses on incorporating fasting and whole foods to help runners feel better, run stronger, and even achieve faster times.

During our conversation, they share insights into their coaching process, bust common myths about fasting and refueling, and discuss the importance of whole-food intake, macronutrient balance, and more.I’m personally giving their program a try for six weeks to see how it impacts my own running and overall well-being, and I’ll keep you updated on my progress.
