Tread Lightly Running Podcast

Our listener question follows up on the listener question from episode 72 - how do you take objective vs subject approaches to determine your best race distance? Then, we dive into an important topic: pre- and post-run nutrition, and why they matter so much. We dive into the science and provide practical tips that you can implement in your own training. 


Discussion points include:

  • The definition of LEA and REDs

  • Symptoms and impacts of LEA
  • How much and what should you eat before runs
  • How soon should you eat after a run?
  • What to eat after a run
