    Electrolytes are absolutely everywhere right now, being marketed as a requirement for good hydration whether you're running 15 miles or just sitting at your desk all day.
    But do you actually need electrolytes daily… or is this just smart marketing?
    In this episode, I break down what electrolytes really are, when they matter for runners, and when plain water plus regular meals is more than enough. We’ll cover sweat loss, sodium replacement, hyponatremia risk, hot weather training, and why many runners are spending money on products they likely don’t need.
    If you've been sipping on electrolytes daily thinking it's a necessity for your health and performance, this episode is for you.

    What do I really think about breakfast cereal as a Dietitian? What's the deal with “Simple carbs” vs “quality carbs”? And… do you really need to eat 800g of carbs per day when carb loading?!
    In this Q&A episode, I’m answering some of the most common (and confusing) questions runners have about carbohydrates, and sharing my advice on optimizing the type and amount of carbs you're eating every day.
    We’re talking about why “fast” carbs aren’t the enemy, how to choose the right type of carbs based on your training, and how to actually hit your carb loading targets without feeling overwhelmed.
    If you’ve ever felt confused (or even guilty) about your carb intake, this episode will help you fuel with more confidence and intention.

    The Missing Piece in Your Fueling Plan

    2026/04/07 | 20 mins.
    If you feel like every time you open Instagram or a running Facebook group, you leave more confused about nutrition and training than when you started… this episode is for you.
    In this episode, I’m talking about why runners need to stop crowdsourcing their nutrition and training advice from social media, strangers on the internet, and every “expert” with a hot take.
    We’re getting into why the real thing missing from most runners’ plans isn’t more information, it’s confidence.
    If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of second-guessing everything you’re doing, this one is for you.

    The End of Aid Station Cups and What This Means for Your Next Race

    2026/03/24 | 23 mins.
    No cups at the aid stations on race day?
    It might sound like a nightmare to some runners… but in this episode of The Fuel Run Recover podcast I'm sharing my thoughts on why this is ultimately the right move in road racing.
    In this episode, I’m sharing why I think events like the Paris Marathon are moving away from disposable cups, why we might see more races following this lead going forward.
    If you're a runner who's always relied on the aid stations during races, I'm sharing how you can get prepared for this switch, and why I personally have always raced with my own hydration.
    We’ll talk about the pros, the backlash, and the practical side of making this work in your own training and racing.
