Are you running on empty — literally?
In Tuesday's Run Clinic, Melanie covered something every runner needs to hear: under-fueling is one of the biggest performance killers out there, and most of us don't even realize we're doing it.
Here are a few things we covered that might shift how you think about food and running:
Carbs are not your enemy. They are your engine. Brown rice, oats, whole grain toast — these are your best training partners.
Protein timing matters. Getting protein in within 30–60 minutes after a run gives your muscles what they need to actually rebuild.
Fats belong in your plan. Avocados, nuts, olive oil — they're what keep you going on those longer efforts.Fueling during runs isn't optional for distances over 60 minutes.
Practice it in training so race day isn't an experiment.
Melanie also shared a full sample daily meal plan and laid out three weekly challenges to help build real nutrition consistency — not perfection, just progress.
If you missed it, the replay is worth your time. And mark your calendars for what's coming up: Coach Melanie's workshop on flexibility and mobility for premium members.
