MAIN TOPIC: Why Does Nutrition Matter for Running?
You’ve heard it said that food is fuel. As runners we take our equipment many miles so we must fuel the machine properly. Our bodies use all three macros for basic function (carbs, fats, and proteins) as well as many mirco nutrients. We invited Meghann Featherstun to join us not only as a nutrition expert, but also a runner.
