Losing Weight While Running Fast: Interview with Nancy Clark

Running and weight loss are two terms that always seem to go
hand-in-hand. Almost everyone that wants to lose weight thinks
they need to start running or run more.


But, as you’ve heard us talk about before, for runners like us
whose primary goal is to run faster, and stay injury-free,
running and weight loss is a lot more complicated than many
realize.


Is weight loss actually going to help your running? 


If it is a primary or secondary goal of yours, what is the best
approach to not sacrifice your running progress? 


What are the common traps runners fall into that derail either
their weight loss or running goals and how do you prevent them?


Well, on the show today is one of the leading experts in running
nutrition, Nancy Clark.


Nancy has over 35 years of experience helping thousands of active
clients—from “ordinary mortals” to Olympians—win with good
nutrition. 


Her best-selling Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook has
sold over 600,000 copies and her nutrition advice and photo have
even graced the back of the Wheaties’ box!


Today she’s going to help us dig into how to approach weight loss
while still maintaining your running performance.

electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium,

Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers. 


Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown
in scientific studies to…


Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise

Reduce inflammation 

Significantly improve sleep quality

Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.



When you’re looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you
take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of
magnesium. 


Our recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers
because it’s made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and
contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements
are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium,
which is simply not enough.
