Episode description

In our continuing series on the FUNdaMENTALS of the sport of running, we wrestle with one of the bears every marathoner is required to attempt to tame. While food, nutrition & fueling will alway be loaded topics, we try to dig deeper: Is there a standard protocol? Or is it simply trial & error? There are those who run nutrition free & others who engineer a very specific & well-oiled plan of attack for maximizing the benefits of in-race nutrition. In this episode we unpack the challenges & landmines associated with fueling in race &, in the end, tend to agree that while fueling is important, it really is idiosyncratic. 
We remind you that this podcast is a conversation & not a primer or final statement on the subject of fueling in a race. We aren't nutritionists, doctors or authorities. We simply have lots of experience & these experiences have informed our ideas around the topic. 
We bring you the episode we call To Fuel or Not To Fuel? Is That Really A Question?!?!? 
Godspeed, my friends, godspeed.
