Underrated vs Overrated: Nutrition Edition | Part 1

When it comes to running performance, there are way too many
variables to count and this can lead to some pretty strong
opinions about what strategies work and which are a waste of your
time. 


In today’s show, we’ll be tackling several controversial running
topics and getting our expert coaches to weigh in on which are
overrated or underrated. 


In this new format, our panel will be given a series of popular
topics and tell you why they think each one is either overhyped
or why you should be focusing on it if your goal is to progress
as a runner. 


Today’s discussion on overrated & underrated running topics
will focus on fueling & nutrition. 


We’ll be going over many nutrient types, training supplements,
and fueling strategies so you know what to focus on for nailing
down your personal nutrition. 


To help us make those tough decisions we’ve brought you two of
our expert coaches, Andie and Michael, who will be on our panel
for the day. 


In this episode you’ll learn:


Do you need protein supplements as a runner and what are the
best ways to meet your protein needs

Which vitamins matter most to runners

Are there nutritional products with performance-enhancing
effects

Should you be following any specific types of diet

And we’ll hear from our coaches on what you should be
focusing on to get the most out of your training nutrition



We all need to eat so if you’ve ever wondered how your fueling
can improve running performance this is the episode for you.


Let’s get into it!
